Douglas Albreski's Expert Contributions
Ingrown toenail surgery now have thick ridged nails
Yellowing of the nail could be from multiple causes. A common one is fungal. Whenever the nail bed is interrupted the protective barrier is also interrupted and could allow for fungus to spread and change the nail. Inflammation from surgery can also change the thickness of the nail, making it opaque. Nails are thin and translucent, if this is lost through thickness the nail may appear yellow. I think a sample sent to pathology, look under a microscope could help identify a cause. Hope this helps, and please feel free to follow up on your concern. READ MORE
