I kicked my toe full force into a hardwood dresser a few days ago and after the rest of the toe regained its normal color, the blister was all the way past the toenail and the toenail felt like it was just kinda floating on top. I just put a pin at the edge and squeezed it out and it immediately feels so much better. I hope it fully reattaches.

Thank you x

Thank you, Dr. Schneider. I had my large toenail removed and I am waiting for it to grow out. I hope the true color comes back as you stated. right now, it's dark brown. I realized everyone recovery may not be the same. Thank you for your information. I am going to review your other video titled What to do about a black toenail. I have others that are turning black. My podiatrist said I do not have any fungus. I agree they are just turning black. No pain or pressure. Any suggestions? Thank you.

hey doc, I lost my left toenail years ago when I was trying to clean the residue underneath the nail with a nail tool but accidentally poked the nail bed & started bleeding underneath & I used nail cutters to cut the nail to see what type of trauma I had. I ended up cutting it too short & ever since then I ended up with a thicker abnormal shape toenail compared to my right big toenail. Eventually my left big toenail came off when I took it off with the tool I used. How can I make my toenail a normal thinner shape like my right toenail? I’ve had this problem for 7 yrs & tbh it always grows back thicker or grows to an odd shape. I miss my normal looking toenail 🥺😔

Is there in Europe a similar product as the Keryflex?

Hey Dr... what if I haven't caused any of the trauma you've mentioned to my toe, but bleeding "suddenly" appears under my toe nail? TIA

I damage my toenail 50 years ago and now it really hurts. Is something that can be done?

Great video! Turns out my mom has been abusing me all these years forcing me into tiny shoes. Now my nails are tiny, thick, and buried in skin. I hate her sm for so many things but glad to have my answers.

I actually damaged my nail due to tight shoes and its 5 days now and i tried cleaning under the nail but then suddenly it is somehow leaking a liquid substance and some blood

I have bad habits that always cut my nails until it's almost gone rven though the blood was coming out, I didn't feel any pain, maybe that's why I continued. I did it when i was young because idk about it now I'm regret. Already go to doctor but the doctor just ask me to use the Laprox medicine and tons of pills but it doesn't work. After I listened to your explanation, I started to understand and the explanation was really the same as what I experienced "the nails will be thick" in fact my mistake was actually thinning the nails even though it was in the healing process.

Hi, My big toenail has been splitting vertically for years - The split is now all the way up to the cuticle. there's a little bump at the cuticle - How can I repair the split?

Thanks,too bad I'm in Connecticut

can someone please advise me. i hurt my fingernail and weeks passed already and the nail is tightening and hurts and my fingertip is still swollen a bit so i tried loosening the nail and in my surprise the pain is gone lol. the nail is now hanging cuz i tried removing it entirely but it hurts on the roots and my only worry from this point is, should i remove the nail forcefully or just wait for it to fall off or is it gonna reattach if i just leave it alone? cuz it seems like the nailbed already hardened. thanks in advance for answers.. appreciate it

I tried on shoes that were tight and then the little toenail started turning black and blue and red. It pains a little when i wear shoes and sometimes it feels like the area around it get numb. This is more than a month now so I soak it in Epsom salt warm water. The redness seems to be getting better. What should I do

My toenails started to fall off after runs recently, starting with the big toes first. So painful but I can’t seem to figure it out.

A 20 Lbs block of concrete fell from above my head onto my big toe right at the top of the cuticle. It’s been 5 days. The toenail is black at the top, and halfway towards the tip of the toe it goes back to normal. The skin around the toe is very bruised and the top of the toenail and cuticle area are very puffy. Should I go to the podiatrist to get it checked out? It still aches, but I’m able to walk with some pain.

I "stubbed my big toe and the entire nail detached, except for the base! Hx of toenail getting "ripped off" from direct trauma to the corner of the nail bed causing the nail to 'Pop off", (except for a small piece in the distal corner, which died on its own and fell off eventually), happened about 20 years ago! New nail grew back in 2 pieces; split vertically. A nail tech filed it down and "glued" it together and it grew thicker on one side and curved to the right. I'm wondering if I should just keep it attached as long as possible? Just putting antibiotic on it and keeping it wrapped so it doesn't get hit or caught on anything. Any other suggestions are appreciated. Some bleeding in the nailbed under the nail, but not profusely. Pain is minimal. Nail moves like a hinge at the base, but I don't want to pull it off.

Hi doc - both my big toe nails have been white & lifting and have been growing up becoming white again as they grow, I went to a doctor and she said there’s nothing to do but wait but it’s been over a year now & it’s just a cycle that keeps repeating - any tips?

What's the recommended procedure if your toe nail looks like the left big toe nail from 01:58. I went to a Dr. and he simply said he couldn't do anything but try out some anti fungal ointment. I'm not convinced he's a good doctor though...

Different treatments for different situations. If it’s a brand new injury, I’d drill some holes in the nail plate to allow the blood to drain through. If it’s an older injury, new nail growth should push out the discoloration. Just be patient and you should start to see a clear nail at the base. Finally, it the nail has been like that and isn’t growing out, a biopsy should be done to determine why. Hope this is helpful.

My nail is coming off after a couple off long runs it's detached itself from the skin but the pain comes and goes, will it just fail off by itself? And what can I do to make it ease the pain when it does? As for the running is it better to stop until the nail has came off completely? Thanks

@DrAndrewSchneider

In most cases the nail will fall off by itself as a new nail grows in beneath it. When the nail comes off, in most cases it should be without pain or bleeding. If there is pain you should visit a podiatrist to help. You don't have to stop running until the nail comes off, just make sure you're wearing shoes that are sized properly to minimized further trauma.

Thanks for the Video, A dumbell plate fell on my right toe, nothing was broken and the doctor said the blood doesnt have to be drained because it was already bleeding out the sides. Its been 2 days now since and i have always walked while lifting up the toe to prevent the pain from the pressure. Is it dangerous to walk normally now, because I'm scared the pressure from the toe being pushed on the ground will somehow make the nail fall of or something?

Same problem, my toenail underneath the nail bleeds, and makes it more black. My shoes are a bit loose and I got it bruised from running a lot.

I recently did the dumbest thing I think I’ve ever done in my life. I got acrylic put on my two big toes for my graduation in May. I let the nail grow out because it’s summertime so I’m mostly wearing sandals. We are now in June, and for whatever reason I forgot to cut my acrylic toenails off. Two days ago I was invited to go play pickle ball,and I went and stubbed my toenail in my shoe so many times I had to stop playing. It hurt so badly. Currently my toenail is blue and my toe around the perimeter of my toenail is red and swollen. The pain is extremely bad and occasionally I feel a burning sensation. The pain is solely on my right big toe. I went to the doctor and she prescribed me antibiotics, but for some reason, I’m in denial that I have an infection.I’ve been taking antibiotics for two days and I’m not seeing any changes. I’m supposed to be done taking these after five days. If anything, my toe is getting worse. What should I do? Please help! For context on why I got the acrylic on my big toe: This was my first time getting acrylic on my toes ever and my reasoning is because I played college tennis and I stubbed my natural nail a few months ago and broke a piece of it off while playing so I decided to get the acrylic to close that gap.

"The same injury can happen by wearing tight shoes" - Yes, that's exactly my case. It was paining in the start but now its not but the colour of the nail is changing like a very light purplish and a small inversely curved spot is forming oh the mid of my nail. The spot is dark pinkish but has little dots in black. I think the spot will turn black gradually. Will it be okay. There is no pain now though and i can walk properly. But if I put a lil bit of pressure on top of the nail it pains a little bit, very very little. Will it be back to normal and if so in how many months. Are there anything that i can do at home to make the healing process faster. Like putting coconut oil and washing my toes with hot saltwater ?

Is the toe painful? If so, you should try to be seen sooner so the blood beneath the nail can be drained. That should give you instant relief. If it's not painful, you certainly can wait for the appointment, or cancel it altogether. At that point there will be nothing to drain and you just have to wait for the nail to grow out anyway.

It sounds like it's growing out like it should. The damaged nail becomes cracked and brittle but it will grow out. It takes 9-12 months for a great toenail to grow out from start to end, so it sounds like your time frame is right on track. It sounds like you just need to be patient and let your body do its work.

Trauma like that really affects the nail. It’s possible the end of the nail is curving down and not letting it progress. Try this…trim the end of the nail to ensure it’s not facing into the toe. Then condition the end of the nail with moisturizing cream. This will soften the skin to let the nail pass over. If you find the nail really isn’t growing, visit a podiatrist
