A member asked:
Both of my big toenails fell off. is it okay for me to buy fake toenails and glue them to the underlying skin since i have no nail left?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: The glue for fake nails is not designed to be used on bare skin. Why did your toenails fall off? If it was from an injury and the cuticle is still intact they will grow back, it will take some time though.
