Angled nail.

I mentioned that I had a finger infection a couple of months ago. Well, fingernails grow at a snail's pace, but they still grow, and the ridge where the nail bed was engulfed by the infection is plainly visible now. There is a huge dent across the width of the nail. In front of the dent, the nail is smooth and a little glossy. Behind the dent, the nail is whitish and rough, as if the nail was frozen in place at the time of the infection and more and more skin is being peeled back from the nail bed.

It is a rather jarring scene made even more odd by the fact that the nail is coming out at an angle. The nail does not look like it is growing straight, It is pointed a few degrees to the left (when looking at the back of my hand). It is probably an optical illusion, but it does look like someone attached the nail incorrectly, tried to fix it, and then gave up and left it a little crooked.

My nail is growing at an angle?

Maybe I should take a picture.
