My toenail is loose? should i tape it?

Protect it with: A bandaid or tape. If the nail is very loose, go to a podiatrist and have the loose nail removed safely so that it doesn't happen accidentally--a potentially painful and messy situation.

Yes.: If it is clean & doesn't appear red nor infected, gently tape it to the toe. Avoid encircling the toe with your tape to allow for fluctuation of possible swelling.
