Question

What should I do if a newborn’s toe nail hasn’t grown out?

Answer

A newborn was found to have the right index finger toe nail not grown out upon birth, and there are two nail spurs on either side of the index finger. The nail does not affect balance function, and it’s uncertain whether it will grow out. This condition is rarely seen in clinical practice. Moreover, the specific cause of your child is not clear, so there is no treatment issue yet.
