What To Do For The Lump In The Child S Toe?

my daughter, 2 yrs. old, was born with normal toes but a month later she showed a lump next to her toe nail. The doctor said it might go away later as she grew, but the lump is is getting bigger and greyer and it s spreading toward the middle of her toe.

Pediatrician 's  Response
Brief answer :
Biopsy needs to be done for diagnosis.

Detailed answer :
Hi, welcome to HCM.
Its difficult to comment without examining the nodule, but if a biopsy of nodule is done than it will confirm the diagnosis.
Sometimes, warts can occur which takes months to heal, so its better to do biopsy, confirm the diagnosis and start treatment.
Take care.
