A member asked:

Something fell on my toe a few weeks ago. the toenail fell off but it looks very strange now. how should it look after the nail comes off and when should i be worrief?

Give it time: If in about 6 months,it does not look normal, it would be prudent to see a podiatrist. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
