Sounds reasonable..: There are quite a few conditions that can causes the toenail area to itch as well as the nail fall off. The most popular is a nail fungus. Since it has been going on for years, the nail root area is probably involved. An evaluation by either a foot specialist or dermatologist should be helpful in confirming a diagnosis and beginning the appropriate treatment. Thank you for consulting Healthtap.
