A member asked:

I think i had toenail fungus but not sure. but my big toe nail has just popped off like it was a acrylic fake nail. no pain no blood and no trauma.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Fungus: A fungus infection can cause the toenail to fall off. It will take over a year to grow back. A podiatrist can advise you best.
