Toe Nail Issue

I dont believe its fingus but that was the only topic pic lol. Anyways, I am 21 years old and a couple of months ago I had pink nail polish on my toenails , I left it on for a long time, longer then i usually leave it on for. I used nail remover and took it off, and on both to nails I have a slit across the toe nail. The top part is the old toe nail and the bottme part is the new toe nail. Its wierd, it doesnt hurt or bother me at all, except for when I walk I can feel the pressure under the toe nail. I am wondering what could cause that or if its normal. If I could take a picture and show you I would. I asked my mom and my aunt and they said its normal, but I feel like I should ask someone whome may have had this!

Hello,
What you have is splitting of the nail.It can be due to deficiencies of folic acid, protein and Vitamin C or skin diseases like psoriasis.I would suggest you to take a healthy,nutritious diet and take some folic acid and vitamin supplements.If the symptoms persist then pls get it ruled out from a dermatologist.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Kind regards.
