I have big toenail lifting off from the cuticle, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Put a bandaid on: So it wont tear off. See a foot doc who can remove the remainder and possibly suggest medication to apply to the nail bed while new nail grows back.

A member asked:
Why is my big toenail dark blue from the cuticle up? About 6 weeks ago, my toenail started getting a dark-blue spot. My sister, who is a nurse, told me it might be raynaud's syndrome, a bruise, or a sign that my toenail is regrowing itself a replacement.

Injured big toenail 3 months ago.It was cracked all the way across about a half inch from the cuticle. One side of my nail was completely lifted so I trimmed half of my nail off. The nail bed looks like there is a healed cut/scar. How should I treat?
