Toe Nail Trouble Please Help?

I have one toe nail that is yellow in color the nail has came unattached from my toe I can completely pull the nail back the end of my toe is really sore and bright red any suggestions what it could be and what I can do to fix it also if I cut the nail off will it ever grow back thank youToe Nail Trouble Please Help?
you really should go to the dr. but i know times are tough. I had something like that happen, if the end of your toe is bright red. that is the first sign of an infection. the yellow on your nail means you have some sort of fungus. they do sell over the counter medication. if the nail falls off. it will grow back. i've had that happen too. but you really should get that taken care of asap.Toe Nail Trouble Please Help?
That is a serious fungus infection that a doctor needs to treat (with topical and oral medication). Fungus infections are v-e-r-y difficult to treat (over-the-counter cremes and powders won't cure it). This requires expert help.





Yes, the toe nail will regrow back, but when the nail is off, be prepared for some s-e-r-i-o-u-s pain (try to keep the nail on the toe as long as possible, like a bandaid).





But do get to a MD, before the fungus spreads to other toes (it's highly contagious -- don't walk barefoot even on the carpet. Wash your hands thoroughly, too, as you don't want it to spread to your privates -- remember ';Jock Itch';?).
U really must visit a doc.........but for immediate relief, try soking your feet in warm salt water......

  1. Definitely you should not ignore it and should take proper treatment to cure it as early as possible. Consulting a doctor would be much better.
