Will toenail fungus lead your toe nail to fall off?

Not always.: This is sometimes the case, but certainly not always, or even that often. Usually there is discoloration and thickening of the nail plate. It can be treated with topical solutions, oral medications, surgical removal or certain types of laser. See a podiatrist to see which solution may be best for you.

It may: It is a destructive infection and at times is lifts your nails off of the nail bed. The nail detaches and eventually may fall off. Your nail will get really brittle and crack very easily. You should really consider treatment of the fungus to prevent further complications when you get older. I recommend you see a podiatrist and discuss the treatment options available.

It is possible: If a toenail infection becomes severe enough, it could lead to loss of the nail. Toenail fungus often time cases the nail to be brittle and loose form the nail bed. The slightest amount of trauma could cause the nail to be completely detached causing loss of the entire nail. Get it taken care of by a professional to avoid preventable complications.

Fungus: Sometimes this can lead to the nail falling off. See your podiatrist for an evaluation and a treatment plan.
