What is it called when the corner of a toenail grows into the flesh of the nail bed?
When the corner of a toenail grows into the flesh of the nail bed, it is called an ingrown toenail. This condition can cause pain, swelling, and sometimes infection in the affected area. Ingrown toenails are often caused by improper nail trimming, tight footwear, or natural nail shape. Treatment may involve proper nail care, soaking, or, in severe cases, a minor surgical procedure.
Can you superglue a toenail to the nail bed?
Superglue is not recommended for attaching a toenail to the nail bed. Using superglue can lead to irritation, infections, or further damage to the nail and surrounding skin. If a toenail is loose or damaged, it's best to consult a healthcare professional for proper care and treatment.
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.

What does toenail fungus look like?

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.
What is a nail bed?
The nail bed is part of the nail matrix called the sterile matrix. It extends from the edge of the germinal matrix, or lunula, to the hyponychium. The nail bed contains the blood vessels, nerves, and melanocytes, or melanin-producing cells. As the nail is produced by the root, it streams down along the nail bed, which adds material to the undersurface of the nail making it thicker. It is important for normal nail growth that the nail bed be smooth. If it is not, the nail may split or develop grooves that can be cosmetically unappealing.
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.
How can you tell if your toenail is dead?
A toenail may be dead if it appears discolored, often turning yellow, brown, or black, and lacks shine. Additionally, if the nail is separating from the nail bed or if there is persistent pain and swelling around the nail, these could be signs of underlying issues. In some cases, a dead toenail may feel detached or loose. Consulting a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis is recommended.
