Hi, I had a client in for a shellac manicure today & she showed me her toe nail.
Here's a pic http://www.salongeek.com/members/be...normal-toe-nail-eponychium-growth-resized.jpg
It is an extension growing from her eponychium and is not attached to the nail at all, but hangs over her big toe nail. It does contain blood cells and does hurt if it's caught.
Her doctor said her will cut it out & then if that doesn't work he said he'll remove her whole toe nail !!!!!!!!!! FFS - it's not even attached to her toe nail, what is he thinking??? He may take the toe off, but this will still grow back!!
She has had it 'frozen' in the past by the doctor & it dropped off but it still comes back.
She's had it for approx 7 years and it started when she had a pedicure done in her previous town & the tech cut her eponychium and it bled. This has grown there ever since.
Has anyone ever come across this before & what is it & how can it be treated (I'm guessing not by me)?
Thanks everyone xxxxxx
