Separated Toenail...

I had a small accident this summer where my large toenail became partially
separated from the nail plate. It looks fine though if a bit loose. I'm tempted
to just use a dab of nail crazy glue to hold it in place until it grows out. I
would really rather not have the whole thing removed. Anyone have a similar
situation? It doesn't hurt, and isn't infected. I used the crazy glue before
when I had artificial nails and had a break into the nail bed and it was fine.

I would recommend seeing a podiatrist...it could eventually get infected....

Don't use crazy glue. This happened to me many years ago. The nail
did reattach but now I have fungal toenails on both of my big toes. I
have treated this in various ways and although it is not perfect, it
is ok. Some podiatrists want to remove the toenail. I say don't do
this...try to work through it and save the toenail. I am so so glad I
did at least I can get a pedicure and it looks fairly normal with
polish in the summer. I have also had it where my toenail is really
short and I have had a fake toenail put on by by manicurist. This
works pretty well, but you should not do it unless the thing is healed
up. The nail glue is onto what is left of the nail, not the skin!!!
Good luck.

Toenail removal is common. They don't need to be "saved" because they
grow back. I would seek the advice of a podiatrist trained to deal with
problems like the one you're having. No one here is qualified to give
you advice that may put your toenail at further risk. See your GP or a
podiatrist, who can evaluate the extent of the damage to your nail and
make a qualified decision. "Working through it" is unwise. I "worked
through" toenail fungus for ten years. My big toenails were thick and
opaque but if I filed and buffed them down to a normal thickness and put
some polish on them, they looked normal. That started ten years ago.
Several months ago, I removed polish from one toenail to find that there
was green and black crap within it and a huge space between my nail and
the nailbed filled with yet more crap. This mess happened quickly and
suddenly, within a two week period, and hiding it with toenail polish
only hid the fact that the infection was getting worse. My toenail was
removed, the other large toenail was debrided and I've been using a
prescription anti–fungal (Penlac). My nails are growing back clear and
healthy.
You DON'T want to take unqualified advice and put a fake toenail on your
damaged one without seeing a podiatrist. Like polish, fake nails can
increase your risk of toenail fungus by trapping moisture in the nail.
Any podiatrist (or physician, for that matter) will tell you that so see
one who can handle your toenail damage. If the professional tells you
it's best to remove the nail, take it seriously. I should have done that
ten years ago.

check out keralac once the fungus is gone. it will help thin the nails. I
did a round of lamisil too. it's not been fun!

purchased :) My nails were thinned by the podiatrist to help the Penlac
penetrate and at least so far, the new growth is far more clear than
it's been in a very long time. What little is left of the old nail seems
to be gradually falling off (painlessly, fortunately.) I figured that
with the potential side effects with lamisil, the Penlac was worth a
try. If there's still a sign of infection when the nail has grown out
completely, I'll try the lamisil.
