One Side Of The Nail Detached From The Skin After A Trauma. Will It Heal Gradually?
I had a trama to mybigtoe toe nail 2 days ago when I was kicked very hard in a swimming pool. The nail did bleed alot but stop after antiobiotic and bandaids were applied. I was in alot of pain originally and had a hard time walking. I have noticed that one side of the nail is not attached to the nail but it is much easier to walk now. Do I need to have a Podiatrist look at the toe or will it reattach eventually by itself.

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
It is difficult for detached nail to regrow,
Actually the damaged nail will shed off and a new nail will regrow from below.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
