Toenail fell off

A toenail fell off is a traumatic lesion when the nail is not properly trimmed and the nail clings to some object, thus tearing it from the nail bed, or from a severe blow to the toe. This is a very dreadful condition, it hurts like anything and there will be a lot of blood. This condition should be urgently referred to the emergency department of the hospital where pain killers can be administered and the bleeding can be controlled. After that, aseptic pressure dressing is applied and antibiotics are started to prevent infection of the exposed skin. A new nail will grow within about six months if no complications arise. However, in a few cases the new nail grows into the skin. This requires the removal of the nail once again, so it can grow in correctly. You can avoid losing your toenail by trimming your nails regularly.

Causes of toenail fell off
diseases like atopic dermatitis, erythroderma, chronic paronychia, Kawasaki syndrome and peripheral vascular disease all can cause your toenail to fall off. Some viral infections can also lead to nails falling off. Conditions which lead to poor circulation in the peripheries like complicated diabetes, also may result in the loss of the nail. Strict control of your diabetes is necessary to prevent this condition. Chronic use of drugs like antitoxics, retinoids and antibiotics can lead to nail loss, as well. So, judicious use of drugs should always be observed.

Chronic fungal infections of the toenail weaken the root and this causes the toenail to wither off. Immediate management of infections of the toenail with systemic and topical antibiotics can help avert this condition

Treatment That Work Best For Toenail Fell Off

A new generation of topical medication has emerged to address the need to replace the internal medication for toenail infection, especially for those who cannot take it. These topical solutions use special oil-based formulations to help send the medicine through the nail plate. A prescription version has been available for quite some time, and a few over-the-counter versions have been developed that are distributed by physicians, primarily podiatrists. The most popular of these brands is called Formula 3.

All together, these topical medications are far less effective than the internal medicine, but are far safer for use. An extended period of use is required to destroy the fungus, which can take six months to a year depending on the rate of nail growth and severity of infection. Once again, much of this has to do with the ability of the medicine to reach the skin underneath the nail. These topical medications work better than store-bought creams and water-based solutions, which essentially only control fungus on the skin folds surrounding the nail.

Alternate technologies are being developed to make toenailfungus treatment easier, and safer for repeated use if necessary. Laser therapy is becoming popular in many parts of the country. Several factors need to be considered by those seeking this treatment. It is expensive and insurance does not yet cover it.
