Suggest Remedy For Nail Infection
My big toenail is coming off! I think I had a nail infection because in December, my nail really hurt. I soaked it in water, and the pain went away, but a few weeks later, I noticed the nail was coming off on the right side a little. I wore heels a week ago, and now the entire right side is coming off. There is an outline around the nail like it's gonna fall off.
What do I do?

Hi,
It seems that you might be having nail bed infection, producing detachment of nail.
Go for one course of antibiotic medicine for 5 days.
Nail might be survived if infection cured completely.
Nothing to worry if nail came out.
There will be eruption of new nail.
continue dressing with antibiotic cream.
Ok and take care.
