                    i have the same problem on both of my feet. the weird thing is, it's only the pinky toe. anyhow, i usually just file it down with an emery board until it's not so thick.

                     you probably got have nail fungus. My granddad had the same problem he went to the doctor and they gave him some pills it took a while but he got rid of it. Check with your doctor.

                    A friend of mine suggested soaking my feet in hot water with a capful of Olive oil. She said it softens the nails. I have the same problem with one of my pinky toes. It's the one I am always stubbing.
I also bought an antifungal polish. I just soaked my feet for the first time today. It felt a little weird and I smell like olive oil. But I can't believe how much softer and shinier my nails look.

                    It could be caused by a couple of things. It could be caused by scar tissue or by a nail fungus. If it is caused by scar tissue, filing it down would probably be your best option. If it is caused by nail fungus, try an anti-fungal cream and that should help.
