Question 1

what causes dark colored toe nail when nothing fell on it?

Accepted Answer

Fungus can : Cause this, so can a melanoma.....You should have it examined, it could be blood as well. You can get blood from simply walking, the end of the shoe can hit against the edge of the toenail and cause a subungual hematoma.

Question 2

the corner of my bed just fell on my toe am there was blood on my sock so i'm assuming it's from under my toe nail. will it fall of?! what do ido

Accepted Answer

Maybe: The nail may fall off but I recommend you have it looked at by a doctor locally. The reason is that if it is bleeding underneath, you want to make sure it stops, doesn't get infected, and pressure doesn't build up which could cut off circulation in the area. If pressure is starting to build up, your doctor can easily remove all or part of the nail and bandage it properly so the nail grows back.

Question 3

uh my pinky toe nail fell off and it's not growing back. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Not much you can do: it either will or will not grow back. You can consider taking biotin supplements, but that does not guarantee that anything will grow back.

Question 4

a drawer fell on my big toe and now underneath the toe nail is blackish blueish, what should i do?

Accepted Answer

It depends: What you describe is a black toenail or subungal hematoma. This can be extremely painful and there can be pressure under the nail from continued bleeding.  Most of the time the pain and throbbing improves with rest & ice. The discoloration improves with time as the blood stained nail grows out.  However, if the pressure/pain continues or gets worse the hematoma must be drained by a doctor.

Question 5

See podiatrist: Hi. Podiatrists are doctors that specialize in the feet. A podiatrist can tell you if the newly growing back toenail is a problem, and can treat the ingrown toenail if it needs it. Good luck!

Question 8

my toenail on my big toe fell off but not fully? just the top bit but the bottom of the original nail is still there and there's a weird bump???

Without seeing hard: to comment. Sometimes, the remaining portion of the toenail needs to be removed, othertimes it can be left....decision is based on pain, blood under nail, infection etc...
