Q: 

I had a ingrown toe nail about two years ago and doctors removed it but ever since then on my toe it's like two nails growing one on top the other it doesn't hurt I am just wondering why it's like that

Hello Anonymous,

Welcome to EmpowHER. This is a question you should ask your physician, who removed the ingrown toenail two years ago. Is your doctor aware of this?

Ingrown toenails are a common condition in which the corner or side of a toenail grows into the soft flesh. I am not aware of changes to the actual nail as a complication of this condition.

Please keep us updated once you have consulted your doctor.
Regards,
Maryann
