Dealing with a Loose Toenail: Causes, Risks & What to Do


Question
ok.. i read some stories about toes/fingers getting caught in stuff.. how about just wearing tight shoes?  that's my story... i wore tight shoes, for just one day thinking that the leather would stretch - never again :( that was three months ago.. and now it seems as though i can just pop off the big toe nail.. but then what am i supposed to do?  just wrap it with a bandage?  not sure.. there's no pain (so far) and i don't want to go to a doctor... should i take it off myself, or wait for it to fall off?  any creams i should use?  thankx, very unsure..

Answer
vivian;

well i would wait,till it falls off on it own. you could do a foot soak,this would help. only wear a bandaid when you wear shoes,let it air.

as for cream,just keep it moist with lotion.

dont wear tight shoes again........
