[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 303149, member: 1963"] *ouch!* I would have this seen by a podiatrist ideally. The part of the toenail that is detached will die and have the be removed. Any of the actual nailbed that is damaged needs to be treated so the new nail grows back normally. There are things a doctor can do to make sure that happens. It's possible they will go ahead and remove the entire nail to make sure it heals cleanly. I ignored a couple of these years ago and the nails grew back so malformed that I wound up having additional surgery on it. The other one grew back on it's own, but I can't trim it myself. The surgery is done under a local anesthetic and it and the recovery hurt a LOT less than constantly bumping/snagging the toenail. [/QUOTE]
