I also have a bad yeast infection in that toe nail so the nail is very thick.Since I have been diagnosed with Diabetic Neuropathy the doctors are attributing this to it and not the RSD although it was all preceded by the RSD type rash for about a year. Hi Felice, thanks for clarifying that for me. Ouch that sounds very painful!! My nails on my RSD foot are abnormal too. They are very brittle and sometimes separate from the nail bed. Also the nail appears white in color. The hair growth on that leg has stopped. Thank God for that because there is no way I could shave. They would have to put me under general anesthesia LOL!!! Are you diabetic or do you just have the neuropathy? What part of the toe ruptures? Is it the fleshy part or the nail part? Sorry for all of the questions!! You take care of yourself, Love Jai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 Hi Jai, The part of the toe that opens up is on the fleshy part of the tip near the nail bed. I also have the ridge toe nails and separating from the foot of RSD. But, since I was diagnosed with Diabetes in August that is what they worry about. I also have extremely slow hair growth on that leg and am glad for that too! Felice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
