Can a bone "chip" work its way out through your skin?

All summer I had a "growth" under my toe nail. A Dr. yanked may toe nail out and sent the growth for analisis; it came back as bone.Now I have something on the side of another toe (other foot) that has actually razor cut into the adjacent toe. I did Martial Arts for many years and prob. have chip plenty of bone in my feet. Can this be what's happening? Dr. just shrugged and said "not likely"

Can a bone "chip" work its way out through your skin?
First of all I would see another Dr. I am presently going thru dealing with bone chip's in my mouth from having a large number of teeth extracted.This seem's to be a common problem among people that have had that done. I can't see how other part's of the body wouldn't react to small fractures in the same way. Good luck in getting this corrected soon.
Reply:My husband had a motorcycle wreck when he was a teenager and the small rocks that were, I guess, in bedded in his leg worked their way out thru the skin. He would get the is nasty knot that would turn into a sore and the rock would come out. This was 10yrs or better after the accident.





So I say anything is possible
Reply:Of course it can, my late husband had open heart surgery,they sawed his chest open right down the middle., in the 70's then later in years, pieces of bones would work it's way through the skin I saw it and it was little chips of bones.
