Otherwise healthy and well-developed 9 month old baby girl w | Figure 1

Otherwise healthy and well-developed 9 month old baby girl with unusual nail deformities involving all 10 toes. No pain or infection at present. Are there any congenital or metabolic conditions that would produce this deformity? Prognosis? What would this be called and how would you best treat it? I advised cutting the nails straight-across and massaging the nails after bathing with an antibiotic ointment.
