I dropped a weight on my toe, and the toe nail blue. Will it fall off?

Question

I dropped a weight on my big toe about 2 weeks ago. The nail is blue and black about half way up, starting at the base. Will it fall off?

Answer 1

OUCH! Not only does that sound painful but I'll bet you felt embarrassed when it happened.

If it were my toe, I'd hobble over to a doctor a.s.a.p. and have it looked at.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

it's possible that the nail will fall off. although a new one will grow back soon enough.  a similar thing happened to me and first, it was black  and blue. then it was loose (it was slowly falling off/detaching). then, it fell off when the new nail was about 1/4 grown in.

Answer 3

yea it will...theres nothing you can really do about it...exept next time mabey wear steel toe boots when you work out

Answer 4

Unlikely, especially if there is now white at the base.  The discolored portion will slowly grow out, and be gone in six months or so.
