Not sure What It Is - Nail Problems Message Board

Under a side of my big toenail, there is a hard, pink lump. It doesn't hurt, and raises the side of the toenail. It is not discusting but I'd rather it not be there. There is no fluid in it, its solid all the way through. I don't want to go to a doctor for it, what can I do at home to try to lower and dispose of this lump?

It could be some sort of growth, mole, whatever. I highly suggest seeing your physician ASAP in case it is something that requires a doctors diagnosis and prescription - if it is a malignant growth, no amount of home remedy will cure that.
