Hello all,

This patient is a healthy 40 year old female. She gets pedicures regularly and has noted in the last 6 months these tiny finger like projections growing in the area of her proximal nail fold. She noticed that every time the pedicurist went to trim the cuticle of her right 4th toe - it would bleed heavily.
This is something I haven't seen myself. They definitely seem vascular in nature and they sit on top of the nail plate but are not attached to it.
Also - the area of nail plate of which they sit is flat with tiny longitudinal striations.
Has anyone else seen this kind of presentation? What is the suggested treatment?
I was thinking cauterization or applying 75% silver nitrate to shrink the tissue if it's vascular.
Thanks for the help!
