I have a friend who's big toe nail is about to come off. and she doesn't want anyone looking at her feet. what can i do to help?

Help without looking: I gather she will let you look! if it is almost off simlpy detach it where it is hanging and put on a bandaid if necessary. If it's not that simple just use a bandaid until it reaches that point or falls off. Seeing a podiatrist is probably her best bet.
