Hello . About two weeks ago i sustained an injury on my foot . It
hurt really bad and the blood
got clot and the pain relieved in a weeks time . after a week i noticed that my toe nail was so loose and shaky like its about to fall off . I tried and cut it very slowly and yesterday accidentally my foot hit the chair and the toe nail seperated from the toe at a 45 degree angle like the bottom is still attached to the nail bed ..

The nail can be clipped off as near as base without damaging the nail bed. The new nail will take around 6 to 18 months to grow back. Till then take wear shoes so as not to damage the nail bed.
