<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Doctor, I have a small growth of skin on my toe, near the nail. It looks unusual and I feel a slight pain and discomfort while walking. Can you please tell me what is happening?  <response>: It appears that you have a hammer toe. The skin growth youre describing could be a corn or a callus, which is a common symptom of this condition. It occurs when the toe is bent unnaturally, causing pressure and friction on the skin.
