A member asked:
Why is my big toe nail coming off on 1 side and is a light brownish colour?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Subungual hematoma: Probably trauma to the nail from a shoe or banging against something. The brown color sounds like dried blood. That will also cause the nail to lyse or lift off
