My toe nail is hanging off what should i do?!


Question: My toe nail is hanging off what should i do?
I banged my toe nail a while ago and it went purple now my nail is hanging on by just the bottom right corner what should i do?
It is currently covered with a little bandage to keep it from catching and ripping off

Answers:

Keep it covered, you will likely loose your toenail, but it will grow back after a while. The same thing happened to me.



i'd suggest simply trimming as much as you can off of it and covering it with a plaster of some sort. my big nail died and fell off a while ago and i found that that was the easiest thing to do, the under nails isn't that tender and you forget about it as you go about your day.



That happened to me... three, lol. You can trim the nail if you want to keep it from catching on stuff, but just wait until it falls off naturally and a new one will grow.
