I've had this my entire life, but only recently (in the last few years) realized what it was. I was never active as a child, and when I began walking and jogging I noticed my second toe nail had a kind of thickness under it. I keep my nails painted constantly and wear them a wee bit longer then the quick, so when I wear my tennis shoes, my second toes do have slight discomfort. When I remove my nail polish, I can see the underneath is a different color then my other toes, but this is a constant thing for me, and it's never really caused a problem, as far as pain goes. I've removed the top nail several times, but they both continue to grow, so I see no point going to the trouble. Mine is completely normal looking unless someone were to look underneath and my doctor said its not going to cause any problem. So, basically, unless its painful, just live with it. =]
