What Does A Dent On The Nail Bed Of The Big Toe Indicate?

I just noticed an unusual denting/dimpling/modeling in my big toes about a quarter inch below my nail beds. These strange markings almost make my toes look like they are bending forward. I have RA, OA and severe osteoporosis. Is this something I should be concerned with and what could it be?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

* Sounds to be possible ingrowing toenail with central scaffolding, still a photo picture of the nail with the high-resolution image would be appreciated in follow up a conversation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
