Question 1

Accepted Answer

Fungus: I'd be suspicious that you have a superficial fungal infection. It doubt it's related to an ingrown toenail (with removal?) last year. There are many over the counter treatments - look for an antifungal cream like clotrimazole or lamisil (terbinafine).

Question 2

will your toe nail grow back after losing it?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: It depends on how you lost it and how traumatic the injury that caused you to lose it. The nail grows from an area called the matrix. If the matrix was damaged then the nail may not grow back or may grow back damaged. Having said that more often than not it will grow back, but not knowing the injury is difficult to say.

Question 3

The toe fungal infection can be treated with varying degrees of success. The post traumatic needs surge.
