My toenail is comming off, what should i do.?

Question:

at my practice i wore shoes that were too small for a few days. this gave me a really bad bruise that hurt a lot under my toe nail. a few days later after the bruise had stopped hurting as much i noticed that the toe nail was getting loser. now it doesnt hurt at all but its really really lose. ive been wearing athletic bandages over it to help it stay on. its also comming off from the top. should i try and take it off? what will happen if i just keep it on? if i should take it off how do i do that? could it get infected if i dont take it off?
dont give me any answers like ewwwww thats disgusting.
i know its gross. and i need to know what to do.

omg. that happened to me with basketball and running. suprisingly there was a new toenail underneath it. so what i did was soak it in warm water then get a nail clipper and get rid of most of what u can without hurting urself, cuz i tried to pull it off and it doesnt come off. so basically cut enough off so it's not danglin. and the rest should fall off by itself.

I had that happen and it did come off, but a new one grew back. You might end up with the same thing. Don't pull it off, don't try to keep it on, just let it do what it's gonna do.

Try going to the doctor, have them check out if it's infected, but the most they'll do is give you a cream or a pill. Either way the original toenail may fall off..Sorry.

Good luck
