My son injured his big toe at camp two weeks ago and his nail has detached from the nail bed. It's still attached at the back and along the sides (I think). We've been covering it with a guaze bandage and it hasn't fallen off yet. Should we continue to protect it or let it come off. I heard if you take it off too soon you can cause the cuticle to close and a new nail will not form. He plays ice hockey and wants to play a pick up game tonight. I'm afraid it will cause the nail to come off completely.Injured toenail. Remove, protect or let fall off by itself?
It doesn't really matter what you do. A new nail will grow in regardless. If you haven't removed the old nail by that time, the new nail will push it out.
If it's fairly secure, you can leave it in place to protect the nail bed, which will be sensitive to touch until the nail grows back. If it's loose and likely to get pulled off by accident, just yank it, or trim away all the loose parts.Injured toenail. Remove, protect or let fall off by itself?
i had an experince and i took it off. my nails grew back!
Just cover it well to keep it from ripping off. It will fall off when it is ready. Soaking in epsom salt is good in the evening. Then just lightly wrap for bed.
Try to cut as much of it off as you can and clean it well. I had this happen recently at the post office when their door caught my baby toe and tore the nail off. If you're not careful and leave it too long the nail will grow back under the old broken nail and then it will really hurt. Also, don't keep a bandage on it any longer than necessary because it needs to dry to heal properly.
keep protecting it. Also put some neosporin on it to prevent infection. they have actual toe covers at the pharmacy that cushion they look like a glove finger only thicker. that would be the best bet. Yes if you remove it i can cause damage. Also be painful if its attached any where. its best to let it fall off on its own. He can soak it also in epsons salts and warm water. that will help with infection and to keep it clean and come off easier.
,Cut off what is not attached and keep it coverd and clean ,then at night when he is not waring shoes or playin around let the air dry it out yes it will eventually fall off but its less painfull if you cut off what you can.toenails rarely don't come back my children have lost sevreal of them and they have always grown back!
The same thing happened to me except I slipped off a slippery rock while I was swimming. The nail will come off, but the bed will be sensitive for a few days. The nail will grow back, but it takes a long time. I'd keep it wrapped for his game, then have it removed tomorrow. Soak his foot in a tub of Epson salts a few times a day and keep the nail bed clean after the nail is removed. I guarantee he will stub his toe on everything until the sensitivity is gone.
I would definitely let it fall off naturally. Don't pull, or tug on it 'cuz it will definitely cause a load of pain! Maybe something that you could try and do to speed up that process would be to soak his foot and toe in epsom salt/water solution. I hope that he feel better soon. Ice hockey probably isn't the best at this time...
seek medical attention to make sure u r doing the right thing.
The advise I gave to my son when that happened to him was to let if fall on its own. Now if it happens again and you want to save the nail, simply add pressure to it with a bandage it worked for my pinkie fingernail (ouch) it literally attaches itself back to the nailbed. it will take a while but it's worth the wait and it's less of a pain.

Cornmeal toenail fungus treatment?
Never heard of it. However, tea tree oil will kill the fungus. Use a drop or two ONLY on the toenail twice a day until the fungus completely disappears. Wear only cotton socks and keep your feet dry. Cornmeal toenail fungus treatment?
I have not heard of that but do know what I would try if I had toenail fungus. Soaking your feet in vinegar absolutely kills athletes foot which is also a fungus. Apparently fungus cannot thrive in the acidic vinegar. Warm up a bowl of white vinegar in the microwave and pour it into a basin or wash pan and soak your feet while your read or watch tv. Soak them for about 15 minutes, twice per day. Athletes foot goes away in just a few days, toenail fungus might take a good bit longer. Wear sandals as much as possible to minimize the damp conditions that fungus thrive on.

Toenail turning blue/grey?
I have noticed about 3-4 days ago that my toenails have been turning blue/grey, but mainly in my right foot, this only happens when i sit down, when i stand and walk again, they turn back to pink.
Just incase it helps, im 16.
What could be the reason?Toenail turning blue/grey?
There's nothing wrong with your toes or toenails. When a person sits down your feet are on the ground. Your are not moving your leg, and with gravity, the blood in your leg will go down to your feet and toenails Your feet will get a bluish color. When you get up and start walking, and you are using your leg muscles, the contracting of your leg muscles moves the blood in your leg upwards and your toes and toenails will turn pink again.
If you ever feel any pain in your lower leg when you are sitting, then you see your doctor.
Don't worry, the blue color is just the blood going down due to gravity and you are not using your leg muscles.
Best of luck. Hope I helped.Toenail turning blue/grey?

Doesn't sound good. Sounds like a circulation problem, like an artery is getting compressed or something. I'd go get checked out.
Sounds like you're losing circulation in your legs when you sit. You might have bad veins in your legs. Tell your doctor about this, he or she will probably give you meds.

you may have actually have a bruise under your toenail, its happened to me before, and it goes away eventually

I clipped off my bruised toenail?
I had a bruised toenail and the blackish part was in the middle, it been 2 months now so wat i did while i was clipping my toenails i clip a hole in it and started to clip off the part where the black (dry blood?) part was, it was easy to do so because the nail was seperated from my toe now anyway it was like it was ready to fall off.. so cleaned it up, took out all the clot blood and now the weird thing is, yeah is it better, but my toe look ugly! the mddle part has no nail and its just plain weird looking. my question is, will the nail grow back or will i have this no nail circle in the middle of my toe forever??I clipped off my bruised toenail?
That has happened to me a couple times...you get like a blood blister underneath the toe nail. I've got them from sports all day. The blister must have opened and drained. My toenail came off with little effort and zero pain, it was weird...but it grew back both timesI clipped off my bruised toenail?
it will grow back.
it will grow..your toenails grow in length,just like fingernails.its just a blood blister under your toenail...
It will grow out and you will have a normal toe again. It's like when you dye your hair, you may have a line of different color or in your case a weird looking part of your toe and it will grow out to look the same as it did before.
As long as you didn't damage the nail bed at the bottom, it should still grow back.lip care

Toenail fungus?
Is there a solution or a cure for this condition?Toenail fungus?
I had this problem. There are a number of medications that will help this, but they're expensive and toxic to your liver. See your doctor. They worked for me (although I could actually feel my liver get bigger and push against my ribcage after taking them). You have to trim your tonails a lot also. That was probably more effective than anything else--the problem went away for good after I started a juijitsu class and had to start worrying about the length of my toenails.Toenail fungus?
First,you have to see a Podiatrist( foot doctor). He'll take a sample from your toenail that is affected by the fungus,by scraping some pieces of it,send it to the laboratory and check it for fungus and if it's fungus,he'll give you some medication for it. Don't guess that it's fungus,not unless the Podiatrist informs you.
I got rid of mine after years of frustration. The doctor or podiatrist can give you a prescription that requires periodic liver testing. It takes about 3 months, but it's worth it. Guaranteed. You will be amazed.

Toenail polish?
Whats a good color for me to paint my toenails. I want something fun for fall/halloween.Toenail polish?
DUH!!! WUR R U THINKING!!!! go with the black and orange look!!!! it totally makes the hallowen look perfect! I do it every year and I think it make me lok fabulous!!!! o and I also think u should draw like a pumpkin or bat on ur big toe or thumb. it always gets the guys for me!!!!!!Toenail polish?
a definate would be black and orange..those are traditional halloween colors try it in verticle stripes or black base with orange dots..also a lil airbrush wouldnt hurt..like a cute pumpkin or something
Toe nails should always be painted with dark colours. Try painting with an opaque colour and apply glittery varnish over? Hey! try the nail stickers thingy.. they're fun and nice to look at!
black, orange, silver, white
either combo is good!
I would go with an irredescent (i'm sure I messed that up) orangey brown I know KIKO makes a really nice on that is affordable as well
I tend to use a color called ';forest green'; on my toes when I'm looking for something fun, I think this dark green compliments most skin tones really well.
There's always good old orange and black (can't mess with a classic, lol)
I think a redish orange would look great also, especially concidering the whole fall theme.
orange base, put a small blob of black in the middle then use a toothpick to pull the 'spider legs' out.
Or black base with ends of moss green smudged to look like moss.
Or go to WalMart and get the stickers.
Orange with black dots!
Go crazy!!
Do them green and orange, not like an icky green but a forest green. Or a black.. go wild, but as these colours are dark. Make sure you paint on a base coat first!
you should make it black ! and then with the french white nail polish for the tips make like spider webs on your nails over the black polish....
get like a tooth pick put it on the white nail polish adn then style it as spider webs on your nails...
Black!!!with glitter
Orange!
Brown is cool
