My big toenail is half off!?!


Question:

My big toenail is half off!?

It's been all discolored and thick for a while. I was supposed to have a foot dr. appointment a few weeks ago, but they messed up the times so it got rescheduled to next Friday. Today I was walking my dog and I looked down at it and I was like "it looks weird". So I went inside and took a closer look, and I noticed that half of it was detached! I knew it wouldn't be long before it happened. It looks like a new nail is already starting to grow underneath it. For now I have a band-aid and antibiotic ointment on it so that it does not get infected or completely come off. My appointment is rescheduled for tomorrow, do you think the doctor will take the whole thing off?? And if so, how long will it take for my nail to grow back?


Answers:

I had a fungal disease on my left foot when I was a sophmore in high school like 5 years ago. I had conducted it from the football locker room I believe. Anyways my toenail had also become discolored and half of it fell cause it was like eaten away or something. When I went to the football he gave me this one -week pack of medicine to take and also cut the majority of the rest of my toenail off. So there you go good luck.
