A member asked:
Had big toenail removed on may 9, 2014. i still have a scab (2 months later). how long does it take for the scab to completely fall off? thank you.

2-3 months: The scab will usually stay present for 2-3 months. Please make sure that there is no redness or dampness under or around the toenail. If so, make sure to visit back with your podiatrist.
