Lump On The Toe. How Can It Be Removed?

Hi I recently noticed a hump in my right midde toe , It is positioned straight down the all the way through the right corner of my nail bed. I tried buffing it down with an electric nail file but it grew back. It is sometimes uncomfortable as certain shoes rub on it causing more disconfort. It was not there 5 months ago. How can I remove this sudden extra toenail growth?

Hey my dear friend, do not be a surgeon at home. I would suggest you to show it to a general surgeon. He can give you some advice if you need any type of surgery and if yes he will be able to give you best service.
