Why Did My Toenail Fall off

When trying to figure out why your toenail is falling off you need to think back. Did you drop something on it; run your foot against something. If this is not the case then it could be due to an infection. When you hit your foot very hard or drop something on your foot it can cause a break in the base of the nail growth. So that weeks and even months later it does not grow out like it did before. Let the old nail fall off and if after a few months if it does not start to grow back you need to see a Doctor. If you did not injure your foot then a fungus is probably the culprit. Nails that fall off because of fungal infection will grow back, but the new nail will probably become infected, similar to the old one. Since the condition rarely goes away on its own, it's smart to talk with a health care provider about an accurate diagnosis and then possible treatments.
