Can your finger nail or toe nail come off?

YES, The loss of a toenail / fingernail can be largely blamed on two major culprits 鈥?fungus and injury.





Toenail fungus can cause toenails to do the following:


turn yellow, brown, or white.


become thick and overgrown.


crumble and fall off.


Nails that fall off because of fungal infection will grow back, but the new nail will probably become infected, similar to the old one.





If a toe gets smacked hard or repeatedly, the result can be a subungual hematoma 鈥?painful bleeding under the toenail that can, in more serious cases, cause the nail to fall off.





Whatever the cause of your nail loss, a replacement should grow back within several months. To prevent further foot problems and maintain happy and healthy toenails, keep these suggestions in mind:





Wear fresh socks made of natural fibers (e.g., cotton) or synthetic materials that wick moisture away from the skin, allowing your feet to breathe.


Buy well-fitted shoes that give your toes plenty of room. For example, wear shoes that have a wide toe box, rather than pointed toes.


Keep your toenails trimmed across in a straight line.





That should help you nail down the problem!!!!!!!!!.Can your finger nail or toe nail come off?
yes.Can your finger nail or toe nail come off?
NO. absolutely not. impossible
Yes baby it can why would you ask such a crazy question.
yes, i once bumped my big to into the door and part of it did fall off and the rest came off later but the nail has since grown back
yes. especially if you smash it hard.
yes but it would regrow again
Yeah. Most kids lose a toenail or fingernail at least once during their childhood. When I was a kid, grocery store doors still opened like regular doors... lost count of the number of times I walked into a grocery store wearing flip flops or sandals, opened the door, and mangled that big toe, ripping the nail right off... must've happened at least 3 times. Then there was the time I tried to pedal an exercise bike with my hands... got my hand caught in the round thing where the chain goes... sawed off the tip of my finger and ripped the fingernail off, too.





I'm 45 now and have all my toenails and the rescued tip of my finger was sewn back on and the nail grew back there, too.
Yes if you get hit really hard but they both regrow don't worry.
yes it can
