Soak it in warm water, with Epsom salts. Keep it clean, apply a small amount of Triple antibiotic ointment, (It can be purchased at your local grocery store, or pharmacy), and apply a light telfa, and gauze bandage. Don't worry about what your going to eat, and drink, so much as keeping the area of trauma clean. You are going to lose your nail, but I don't think your in danger of losing your toe. Most of all if you are still very anxious about it, then go to the Urgent Care Center, or Emergency Room.My Toe Nail Is Coming Off.. PLEASE HELP!!!!?
First breathe - when you hit your nail that way it sometimes falls off. I'm sure you're uncomfortable. When you can, I strongly advocate having it clean and open to air - this improves scabbing and will help the very sensitive skin heal. When you can't, then cover it with a good bandage. You should clean it initially with peroxide - and after you've had to have it in shoes for long periods of time (several hours)





Don't force the nail to come off - let it do so naturally. Pulling it increases your chances of infection. BTW it will grow back. Adding a little calcium into your diet and anything with good imune builders won't hurt -





Hope you feel better soon!
leave it open and put neosporin salve on it.ot tetramiacin.that will stop infection.you can get it at walmart real cheap.good luck!
its fine, keep it clean, the nail will grow back on its own, dont play with it and try not to wear any tight shoes for a while
just keep it clean and go to a doctor ASAP!
see a doctor ASAP because it will get infected for sure
ok first of all you can eat anything you want, unless you eat with your toes, nothing you eat is going to affect your toe. IF it bleeds still put a gauze pad over when you wear shoes other wise leave it uncovered. Let the toenail come off on its own. I have had this happen twice as a kid (tomboy) and it grows back. There should be no infection as long as you keep it clean, which you do by keeping the dirt out of it and washing it off when you shower/bathe. It will start to get redish and puffy if infection is setting in at that point I would go see a Dr. If you can't afford one just wait and let the infection build a bit ( couple of days to make sure it is an infection and not just mild swelling) then open the the main site of the infection with a needle and let it drain. But really to be safe if it gets infected you should have a Dr. look at it.
This has happened to be a couple times. Clip the remaining piece as close as possible. It doesnt need to be covered unless its raw or is rubbing your shoes, in that case just use bandaids and Neosporin ointment. Keep it clean and dry, barefoot as much as you can and it will grow back. It will take a while but its not a major problem. I dont know what your refering to about what to eat, that wont have any affect on infection and actually your toe nail grows from under the skin so unless your toe is cut there really is nothing to worry about.
