Thank you so much doctor. You provided wonderful explanation. My son got admission in DO school. He applied very late due to late MCAT result. He was very disappointed when someone told him that DO students can’t apply for specialities. He is also interested in dermatology. He was curious to apply for next year. Now I will show him this. Thanks and I really appreciate for uploading this video.

[@ashlymercado4892]

I love your videos. Can I request on how to deal with toenail separation without surgery

[@DoctorpediaYT]

Thanks Ashly. Toenail separation can happen for a number of reasons and this really needs to be seen by either a Podiatrist or a Dermatologist to determine the cause. Sorry I could not be of more help.
