Guest guest Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 One of 's big toenails did this. Her ortho was not concerned and said this generally self-corrects. 's skin around it was red, as well, but did not seem sensitive or to bother her in any way, which I took as a good sign. Ironically, that was the spot where she got the pressure sore from the Markells and as the sore has healed and some skin has come off, the toenail has straightened. A strange benefit from our bad shoe experience! Carol and , bcf, 10-27-05, 23/7 in FAB toenails Anyone else have trouble with your babies toenails growing in to the skin?

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 My sons toe nails grew sideways and nearly folded over. His big toes grew into the side of his toe. You just have to get past it. My son is 3 in April and his nails are almost straight now. i was just carful about cutting them and tried to do them straight....

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Our daughter's toes/toenails are also funny, they curl in and thus the nails grow straight up. Our ortho said the same thing and I have already noticed improvment (she is now 18 mos). My suggestion would be to just try to keep the nail clipped short and you will see improvment as the toe grows longer. There is a pic of Graces funny toes on the cfpics list under the photo section in the 'toes' folder if you want to take a peek. Here is the link if ya need it... http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/CFPics/ & Grace 18 mos unilateral rcf FAB 13 hrs > > One of 's big toenails did this.
