When the corner of a toenail grows into the flesh of the nail bed?
it's an ingrown toenail
What do you clean the toenail area with when you lose the big toenail?
Clean dry gauze is sufficient - just dabbed on the nail bed.
Nail root and the nail body attach to the?
haha do you take anatomy? nail bed im thinking
If your toenail has died and is only holding on by the edges - should you have the nail removed or try to hold it in place while it grows back?
If possible, keep it on. (I used surgical tape for several months) It'll protect the very tender nail bed while the new nail grows out. The old will eventually come off anyhow, and the later the less uncomfortable.
Are human nails living or nonliving?
The nail itself is non living, the nail bed (where the nail grows from) is living.
What does it mean when your toe nil separates from the nail bed?
It usually means that the toenail has been damaged at some earlier time, usually by an accidental hit to the nail.
How do I get the Gauze off that stuck to my toenail bed?
I have no idea. I have the same problem. I has a toe nail avulsion and nail removed and now gauze is stuck to the nail bed. I cant get the gauze removed even after extensive warm salt water soaking. I guess the answer is soaking and waiting for the nail bed to heal. I am so confused.
What can you use to reattach a toenail to the bed?
Nothing. It either will completely fall off and grow again or will attach itself on its own.
Why is your big toenail black?
By definition, your toenails, as well as your hair, and as opposed to your skin - is always dead. What happens if it gets black is that you've had a bleed under the nail, in the nail bed. That kind of thing will often - but not always - disturb the growth zone of the nail somewhere behing the cuticle. When that happens, the nail will no longer be able to grow as a continuous unit. There'll be a stop in the growth, a break in the nail, and then there'll be a new nail. As the new nail grows the old will be pushed ahead and eventually fall off.
What is Onycholysis?
Onycholysis is the separation or loosening of a fingernail or toenail from its nail bed. Loosening of the nails, beginning at the free border, and usually incomplete.
Will a toenail grow if it falls twice?
Yes, a toe nail can grow back if it falls off twice, but it depends on the damage done to the nail bed. It make take longer to grow back after falling off twice.
Where is the lunula in your body?
The lunula, or lunulae (pl.) (little moon in Latin), is the crescent-shaped whitish area of the bed of a fingernail or toenail. The lunula is the visible part of the root of the nail.
