What could be the reason for this growth under my nail; what is it?

It made the white part of my nail go lower on one side of my nail. The growth looks like my nail is thickened, or growing a second layer.

Answer #1

It could be anything from a fungus to damage to the cuticle. Keep an eye on it and if it gets worse, you should have it checked. If it just grows out, then it’s likely you damaged it and it will return to normal on its own.

Answer #2

I would advise you keep in touch with your doctor. I got this problem approximately three months ago. I kept on ignoring it and now situation has become worst. I can’t even walk now.
