Ouch!: The whole nail or just the tip? Fingernails often fall off when they are crushed or traumatized. This is usually a slow process and the displaced nail is prone to snagging on clothing and hair. Using a bandage over the area until it completely drops off can hep prevent this painful event. Eventually, the nail should grow back, but it will likely look a little different than the original.
