The nail is NOT ingrown, rather already dead, 2 years ago it was pinched by a door, now it doesn’t grow at all and has moved away from the skin, it stays only at the base, it doesn’t hurt. Will it hurt to remove it? And how quickly will it grow? Toenail, big toe.
Go to the surgeon. If the procedure is painful, he will give local anesthesia. But I think everything will be ok. It doesn't hurt.
I had an injury on my finger.
She caught it in the door and cut off her nail at the base.
The pain was hellish, but I didn’t go to the doctor and didn’t have it removed.
Did you think how it would grow together?
And he himself gradually began to be replaced and grow from root to end, and the old nail peeled off, so as not to touch or tear it, it was necessary to seal it with a plaster and trim it a little. All .
Our body itself copes with this task of regeneration. Doctors simply do not trust the intelligence of the body.
I advise you to leave everything as it is, especially since it doesn’t hurt.
Under the old nail there is a process of replacing it with a new one, and the old one will disappear without removal.
If 2 years have already passed, then it has definitely already been replaced with a new one, that’s why it’s hanging around.
you can trim it and you will see. The remainder will fall off on its own.
I completely grew a new one in 8 months.
It doesn’t hurt, because it’s done under anesthesia, you won’t even feel anything, but it will start to hurt after the operation when the anesthesia begins to wear off, you need to stock up on tablets like ketones. I will be sick for 2 days, at night I hung myself from the pain, I didn’t have time to buy pills, the operation was done late in the evening. Well, not to say that it really hurt, but it was impossible to sleep. then buy shoes in advance, such as open-top sneakers with Velcro, then bandages need to be done, first by a doctor, then you can do it yourself. There’s also this sticky thing that comes in rolls or is sold by the cut - it’s a replacement for a bandage - it’s very convenient and makes for a neat dressing
if there is pus, then you should definitely go for surgery; in other cases, it wouldn’t hurt to consult a doctor
I don’t know if this method will be suitable in your case, but I’ll write it. When treating nail fungus, sometimes it is also necessary to remove the nail plate. We do not send our patients to a surgeon for their brutal methods, but we prescribe the “Mikospor” kit, which contains ointment and adhesive plasters, due to which the nail plate seems to be “corroded.” Sold in a pharmacy, but costs about 1 thousand rubles.
Ooh. And more than once my nails “fell off,” that is, they were gradually replaced, and the old one rose, and I even removed it myself, after steaming it in some water, with absolutely no pain. It's on your feet.
and pus appeared on my hand in the fall near the nail. I thought for a week that it would go away (I was just a coward), then my finger swelled terribly, it became kind of gray, it was painful, I couldn’t sleep, this huge abscess. I had to go to the surgeon. I thought they were going to remove my nail, so I cried and became hysterical. But no, they smeared my finger with some kind of cooling thing, cut off the skin, the nail was exposed at the root, then it was also “replaced” after a couple of months, but the finger became crooked and periodically ached.
How does he hold up for 2 years? It fell off for me after a month or two. I hooked it with my finger and pulled myself away. A new nail has grown in. more than six months, also about 8-10 months. It grows faster in summer.
What are you waiting for? Go to the doctor!
I also forgot to add that it is better to carry out this procedure after steaming in a soap and soda bath.
This method is safer compared to surgery, because with the latter, the matrix of the nail plate is damaged and it grows deformed.
Tell me please! My child, 7 months old, had an ingrown toenail removed; as a result, he is growing a new one now, but the pad does not allow him to grow forward and it thickens. Please tell me what should we do?
I don’t seem to have an ingrown thing, but there’s an abscess nearby and a swollen toe and the skin is peeling off around the nail, what is it? 777
If the nail is, as you said, “dead,” there should be no pain.
I have a damaged nail on my foot. Half of it is torn off and on the very half there is a large crack. This is my mother’s friend who accidentally hit me with an iron door. Mom says that you need to go to the surgeon, he will pull it out or circumcise it under an injection. I'm very afraid! Does it really hurt that much?
I am the Author of this topic) After the question asked here, about a week later I went to the surgeon. They injected my finger with a painkiller, like 4 times, bandaged my leg with a tourniquet, and pulled it out. It doesn't hurt at all. Then they bandaged it. They gave me some ointment and told me to come change the bandages every other day. A few hours later, when the finger came off the painkiller, it was a little painful, but tolerable. There was quite a bit of blood. The first time they changed the bandage was a lot of pain. The blood has dried... although the bandage was wet... The next time it didn't hurt. Now half a year has passed, the new nail is growing. But you have to be careful that it doesn’t grow in.
I damaged my toenail back in the fall, I didn’t touch it, I thought it would fall off over time and a new one would grow, like I already had on my hand, but the nail remained in place and is still not growing. What to do?
I also thought it would fall off. It needs to be pulled out. Of course he didn’t interfere, but he didn’t look nice.
By the way, my nail also reached the pad. I don’t know how it will grow further.
On my foot, on my big toes, after a bruise, the nail peeled off by half from the skin and began to grow to the side, I then cut off half of the nail, and this half that remained did not grow and the nail became thick (probably after the bruise the nail grew on the nail) What should I do? Maybe it should be removed, maybe a new one will grow.
I had an ingrown toenail, they cut it out and there was pus. I went to the doctor and said they would put me in the hospital and tomorrow by 9 am I would have surgery to remove it and clean it out. I think it hurts.
Vlada, I’ll tell you that you had an ingrown toenail removed (a crappy doctor). he gave you an infection there, which led to the formation of purulent masses. Of course, it will be a little painful to remove. After all, you have pus there. It’s not living tissue, but dead tissue, anesthesia on dead tissue will not work!!
I gave myself a gel pedicure and ran in sneakers, pressed my toes and on both feet the nails on the big toes came off the skin, but at the bottom at the base and on each toe on one side they still held on. Today I saw the surgeon and he said I need to take it off, I’m terribly afraid! He told me to buy a scalpel and lidocaine, it sounds scary! Tell me, practice, how is it? What will they do there? Does it hurt or not? Everything you can and want to tell! The doctor didn’t say anything, he told you what difference it makes., how we’ll do it(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((I got a job, go out) from Monday and I have to drive there every day, can I?
Scalpel?? Hmm. They simply tied my leg with a tourniquet and injected me with a numbing agent. and pulled out the nail with pliers. All. All this lasted 2-3 minutes. Then they bandaged the finger. And every other day I had to go for a dressing change. (Walking was painful, there was a lot of blood... But this happened within a week). Bandaging is a piece of cake... The blood dries to the bandage and peeling it off is very painful. You have to ask that the bandage be wetted first. Well, I think they themselves should know. Yes, and I want to upset you. The doctor said that the nail may not grow back, depending on your luck. It’s already been a year since my nail was removed, but it only grew to the middle, and doesn’t grow further, the pad gets in the way ((Now I only wear closed shoes. That’s how it is.
How. It may not grow at all. And how to live without a nail - it’s ugly. I also had my nail removed two weeks ago. What to do.
Well, as the doctor told me, just wait, be prepared for the fact that it won’t grow. Mine has grown to the middle and that’s it... Yes, everything will grow for you)
Damn, I can’t resist writing. I came from the surgeon 2 hours ago, or rather, they brought me. they removed the nail and cleaned out the pus; the big toe (panoricia) was inflamed, it seemed, after a severe bruise!! This is absolutely painful. especially now that the anesthesia has worn off. wow!! I can’t even imagine what will happen at night. It’s lunchtime now, and I can’t do it anymore.
If the nail has not grown for a long time, then it is most likely a fungus. It’s better, of course, if you just bumped somewhere and didn’t notice it, and your cap burst and there’s just blood there, that’s why the nail is black, but this shouldn’t affect growth.
Go to the clinic.
I had this almost 2 years ago, only the entire nail turned black and fell off, and then a new one grew, and this one only part of the nail was affected..
To a dermatologist or whom?
I don’t want to upset you, but you will have to go to the doctor, first to a dermatologist, and then perhaps to a surgeon. Did you accidentally hit yourself? In this situation, I had my nail removed.
IMHO If the nail has not grown for a long time, then it is most likely a fungus. It’s better, of course, if you just bumped somewhere and didn’t notice it, and your cap burst and there’s just blood there, that’s why the nail is black, but this shouldn’t affect growth.

To a therapist. He will direct you where it is necessary (if necessary).
Perhaps I hit myself, my boots were pinching me all winter in this place (((
Both my big toe nails were peeling off because of the shoes. I bought them for the summer, and the sandals were so comfortable - it turned out that the membrane was putting pressure on my nails. Horror, both fell off in the summer, I was so tormented with open shoes to hide them. And recently I put on sneakers - they also put pressure on me, my nail hurt for several days and turned dark. So damn about the shoes, don't ever do that again.
see a surgeon with such a nail, he will remove it for you, with local anesthesia, there is no other way, don’t delay this matter.
if you hit yourself or were pressed, then don’t be scared, no one is going to amputate your finger, you people don’t scare a person, when we were at a concert, my friend (and there were a lot of people there) stepped on her foot hard, and then she got a nail too He was black, he was sick, we were also afraid to go to the doctor, in case they amputated him or something. and then it just peeled off and fell off, then a new one grew back, and now I’ve also been hit, the nail is black and peeling off already, I’m not afraid, I know it will peel off and grow a new one! It's OK
Nenya’s also turned black, I went to the surgeon and sent an infectious disease and nothing was found, then I went to the orthopedic surgeon, he said that my fingers are just like that and I need special shoes
I also crushed my nail with my shoes back in the summer, it stopped growing, but it didn’t bother me in any way, but then in a couple of days it turned black and hurt like crazy, it hurts to walk, I went to the surgeon, he said I don’t need to do anything, they say it will go away on its own, but I can barely I'm wondering how to relieve the pain?
and I got a little frostbite on my feet, everything seemed to have gone away, but the nails on my big toes turned black (I’m afraid to go to the doctor and I don’t know which one)
I have a similar situation, a month ago my fingers froze, my nails darkened. The pain quickly stopped and I didn’t go to the doctor. Now, as the nails grow, they take on their normal color.
Part of the toenail has turned black for a long time; could it be a fungus or from tight shoes? And the new nail doesn’t want to grow, why? Should I apply Clotrimazole or not?
Hi, my big toe nails are turning black. This happened when mercury was scattered around my apartment. I left that apartment aimlessly. And of course the only treatment is condensed milk. nothing more.
That is, what is condensed milk like? Should you smear your nails with condensed milk?))
No, you don’t need to smear it with milk, it won’t help. You just need to throw away everything that is questionable in an apartment where there is mercury - or in bed, or in shoes, or anywhere else. And neutralize your health by taking condensed milk internally. Or also treat with vegetable oil. Spoon in, suck the oil for 10-15 minutes, then be sure to SPIT IT out. and rinse your mouth. Helps against any chronic disease - it cleanses the body well, of everything.
Or maybe gangrene started from smoking?
I don’t smoke). and the nail on my big toe is still greenish
I have a black spot on my right big toe, I have 100% small shoes. I spent all last summer wearing shoes two sizes smaller + another 14 cm stiletto heel(((Well, I’m not lucky with shoes! This year, winter boots rubbed the toe on my left foot, it didn’t turn black, but the color is brown. In general, I’ll tell you all I advise you to watch your nails. My grandfather hurt his finger badly, at first the nail was cracked, he removed it. But it was only too late, the infection spread all over the finger, they took the finger away, and then the infection spread into the blood. Grandfather died of cancer. So watch your health, even a small scratch can cause great, great harm!
both green and spotted. (see internet)
looks more like gangrene
You are a pathetic animal. Congratulations.
In general, according to the Chinese method, nails are an indicator of health. They are different - and black due to the effect of mercury on the body,
I can’t understand where there is mercury in shoes?
My little toe turned black after playing tennis. I've been walking around with a black nail for 2-3 weeks now. It doesn’t bother me, I don’t feel pain or other discomfort... I hope that over time it will peel off and a new one will grow in its place
Does it hurt when a nail comes off?
I feel the same way too, my new ballet shoes are a little tight. It will just grow back, cut off the black part and be left with a brand new pink one.
By the way, I have to constantly paint my toenails, otherwise black looks kind of creepy.)))
My nail turned black and fell off, a new one grows and is also black, on the other leg there is also one that looks darkened, it’s not a fungus for sure, the doctors said, they gave me a special cream like varnish and a gel thing to put on top of the finger, some kind of bacteria, here I am it's not clear what it is
The nail has turned black. For a long time, no drops against the fungus have helped, and it’s not going to come off. Could it be from heppatitis, sir?
I understand everything about recommendations, but still, could this be the reason?
What should I do? The black nail has been black for two months and still won’t come off. I play football and they stepped on me with thorns.
Mercury can be found anywhere in the home. from neighbors who spoil you
Tell us how you are doing now, whether the treatment helped. I have been suffering with black nails for several years now. In the infectious diseases department, tests were done several times; the fungi were not found; out of despair, they diagnosed damage to the matrix. But my nail grows, but it grows back just a little, then turns black.
Hello, have you solved the problem of the growing black edge of the nail? I'm afraid I have something similar, I don't know what to think, naturally, the first thing that comes to mind is a fungus, so I started treatment... the second day, no change so far. I'm afraid it might be something more serious
I was treating a nail for a fungus, the third bubble dripped, and suddenly the nail turned black, I don’t know why. From the base. but not all of it. What to do?
My dad’s big toe on his left foot started to hurt, it was swollen, the color became purplish-red. It was festering under the nail. The surgeon removed the nail. The other day they had an operation for atherosclerosis of the lower extremities. Instead of a nail, everything is black, it hurts a lot and it’s festering. What should I do? ?What is happening? How to treat?
I have the same thing, t. *****. after dripping clotrimazole for three months (September-November), the second toenail turned black! True, before this in the summer in July I hit the brick with my second and third nails quite hard. But then he didn’t turn black. Therefore, I can’t say exactly why I turned black.
I had an uncomfortable feeling, part of my large nails peeled off and they were dark
I played football and it turned black. Yes, the boots are a little tight, maybe that’s why? It hasn’t fallen off for the 2nd month. This happened before, but it fell off quickly. How is that possible?
Throwing away shoes containing mercury is one of the treatments.
How do you know if these are shoes with mercury?
Hello, please tell me whether I should be very worried if a week ago a small brownish spot, barely noticeable, appeared on the nail of my big toe. I didn’t hit myself! After a few days it turned gray, then blue, and today it is already dark purple. I think that this could have arisen from uncomfortable shoes, since I run every evening and sometimes my fingers hurt, the shoes were a little uncomfortable. After my nail turned greyish, I stopped running because it was so sore after running. But the next day, and to this day inclusive, no pain is felt, if it were not for the terrible color, then I would not have felt that there was anything wrong with the nail. The suddenness and appearance out of nowhere + such an active change in color in a week is frightening. Tell me what it is.
PS The nail has almost completely turned blue, but at the base, and at the top it is light and continues to grow.

Editorial contact information for government agencies (including Roskomnadzor):
Nails are small horny plates located on the dorsum of the ends of the fingers and toes.
The nail plate is composed of epithelial cells and rests on a layer of connective tissue (nail bed).
The nail fold is a fold of skin that supports the nail plate on each of its sides. The nails themselves are transparent, but their pink or dark pink color is due to the vessels that are located under them.
Nail plate removal is typically performed for diagnostic purposes or to treat injury or disease such as infection, tumors, or nail deformity (due to injury or growth defect).
As for the nail bed, it is removed in case of some types of cancer such as melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma or basal cell carcinoma in this area.
The use of new laser technologies to control onychomycosis has significant promise compared to other treatment methods for eliminating clinical manifestations of nail infections.
The advantage of lasers is that they selectively heat and destroy harmful fungi, sparing healthy surrounding tissue.
This is a good option for those who are afraid of surgical removal of nails affected by fungus.
The laser beam penetrates the nail and vaporizes the fungus located in the nail bed and nail plate. Devices from different manufacturers may have different wavelengths, temperatures or duration of the procedure. When you consult with your doctor, he will tell you in detail about the device the clinic uses to treat nails infected with fungus.
Depending on the severity of the fungal infection, one or more (up to 8) treatments may be required to treat nail fungus. In this case, there is a minimum of discomfort during or after treatment.
In particularly “advanced” cases of onychomycosis, in addition to laser treatment, local treatment using antifungal creams, solutions or varnishes will be required.
The cost of laser treatment varies depending on factors such as the severity of the infection, the thickness of the nails and the location of the clinic. It varies from 1500 to 4500 rubles per finger.
If the fungal infection returns regularly, your doctor can discuss with you various options for removing fungal nails.
Chemical removal of a fingernail or toenail is an alternative to surgery.
Conditions such as recurrent onychocryptosis or ingrown toenail, psoriatic nail, detachment of the nail from the nail bed (onycholysis), onychauxis, symptomatic onychomycosis that does not respond to drug antifungal therapy, painful conditions, including nail deformation, are indications for matrixectomy (removal of nail root, which is responsible for the formation of the nail plate).
For the above and other nail diseases, toenail or hand nail removal should be considered only after all medications have failed and the condition remains resistant to treatment.
Chemical cauterization of the nail matrix using phenol is used to partially or completely destroy the nail matrix.
This is the most widely practiced matrixectomy procedure.
Phenol denatures protein and has antibacterial and analgesic properties.
Before applying phenol, the soft tissues surrounding the nail are coated with Vaseline to protect them from chemical damage.
During the procedure, a cotton applicator is used to vigorously massage the matrix using rotational movements. After applying phenol, rinse the treated area with 70% isopropyl alcohol to neutralize the concentrated phenol. Bleeding after fingernail or toenail removal is usually minimal.
An antibiotic ointment is applied to the wound. The dressing is removed after 24 hours and the wound is cleaned with a dilute hydrogen peroxide solution. This procedure is standard for wound care for all types of matrixectomies.
Removal of the nail matrix using phenol has a success rate of 95% or higher, and the risk of postoperative complications is minimal.
In order to painlessly remove a nail with fungus, you can use the cosmetic product Nogtivit.
It consists of the following components:
How to use Nogtivit cream:
It is impossible to say exactly how long it will take until the nail with fungus is completely removed. It depends on the thickness of the nail plate.
One jar of Nogtivit allows you to remove 3-4 nails. After using this product, you should continue to treat nail fungus according to the regimen recommended by your dermatologist.
When you come to him, he will collect anamnesis, schedule a consultation with a specialist and refer you for additional diagnostics, radiography, tests and other types of studies.
The only period when you should not worry about numbness in your toes is pregnancy. You should inform your doctor about the appearance of a symptom, but in most cases its presence will be explained by the physiological characteristics of the female body. Along with the growth of the fetus, the uterus enlarges, which puts pressure on the nerve roots and large vessels. This is what leads to numbness. After childbirth, the symptom of women's legs will be as sensitive as before. Why does a patient suffer from chronic numbness? If your fingers go numb almost constantly, and this sensation does not numb your toe for a long time, then the cause may be a numb toe disease.
The pathology is easy to recognize - it progresses over time: As a rule, the last numbness affects the thumb. The cause of such an unpleasant symptom may be the following diseases: Osteochondrosis of the lumbar spine, intervertebral hernia. This is the most common cause of paresthesia. During treatment of these pathologies or after surgery, you begin to feel your feet again. Nerve damage to the lower extremities due to trauma.
In this case, the symptom develops atypically - first the movable thumb, index or ring finger loses sensitivity, while the rest retain their functions in full. Diabetes mellitus of the second degree leads to the first loss of sensation in the feet.
Also, this disease and other pathologies of metabolic processes lead to loss of sensitivity in the fingers. Multiple sclerosis leads to paresis and paralysis.
Numbness of the big toe can be a signal of the development of a serious illness in the body. If a limb is numb, namely, the big toes are numb, this may be a sign of one of the following diseases Read more Numbness of the big toe can be a signal of the development of a serious disease in the body. That is why, if the phalanges of the fingers or the entire foot begin to go numb, you need to consult a doctor. Why does this symptom occur? If a limb is numb, namely the big toes are numb, this may be a sign of one of the following diseases: Osteochondrosis is a disease of the intervertebral discs, which is accompanied by their thinning, which, in turn, causes pinching of the spinal root. As a consequence, there is obstruction of nerve impulses, which is the reason why people become numb with Hide. A numb big toe indicates the approximate location of the lesion. Osteochondrosis is diagnosed by X-ray examination of the lumbar spine. Read more A numb big toe indicates the approximate location of the lesion. Osteochondrosis is diagnosed by X-ray examination of the lumbar spine. Osteochondrosis in a patient. Tuberculosis of the spine can cause sensitivity disorders. Tuberculosis can also affect bone structures. Diseases caused by metabolic disorders. Diabetes mellitus may be the cause of numbness in the big toe. With diabetes, trophism suffers and a complication develops - gangrene of the feet. The big toe is the first to develop gangrene. Newly formed Hide.
One of the first symptoms that occurs is numbness in the toes. With Raynaud's syndrome, blood circulation in the arteries is disrupted, and small vessels are also affected. Polyneuropathy occurs due to a lack of B vitamins. You can also experience numbness in your toe on your own. Rubbing the skin will numb the toe not only in the toe area, but throughout the entire foot. This procedure is effective when numbness is caused by wearing uncomfortable shoes, frostbite, or being in an uncomfortable position for a long time.

Multivitamin preparations are also prescribed, which normalize the passage of nerve impulses. Orthopedic insoles as a method of eliminating symptoms If numbness in the feet is caused by diseases such as flat feet or gout, orthopedic insoles, as well as shoes with this type of insole, can help numb the toe. Therapeutic shoes for such foot diseases have orthopedic insoles with longitudinal and transverse instep supports, comfortable fasteners that regulate the fullness of the foot. Orthopedic insoles have an instep support - a rigid metal or leather plate with a natural bend. The fastening of such an element is carried out under the insole.
Thanks to the numb toe features of the therapeutic shoe, blood stagnation is prevented, which, in turn, does not cause this symptom in the extremities. You can purchase removable orthopedic insoles at a pharmacy or orthopedic salon. Even some shoe stores sell such attributes. In some cases, orthopedic insoles must be made to order, taking into account the individual characteristics of the disease. What does the symptom that occurs in a child indicate? Sometimes a child is not able to say what is bothering him, becoming capricious and whiny. Not every parent will understand that the child’s feet or some parts of them are numb.
