is this the thread to ask? if not, sorry
looking for advice on a botched toe
history: my toenails fall off every few months-every few years; doctors ran tests when i was a kid and said they didn’t know what was wrong. it all started after a stage board at school was dropped on them at school. i think maybe the thing that makes the nail grow (matrix?) is damaged in both big toes or something.
fast forward to recently:
for uni grad pics my mom wanted me to look nice and get a pedicure with fake toenails. i got one; stubbed my right toe nail and it was bruised/bloody. removed the acrylic nail with a nail drill; natural nail fell off on its own a month later. perfectly fine now.
left nail still had the acrylic nail on and i stubbed it as well with no blood but was sore. tried to do the same process on it, but couldn’t remove all of the acrylic nail and ended up skimming some of the skin on the toe bed. it’s been like this for a while and i want it to come off already; nail and the bit of acrylic remaining.
also: i have had 2 nails removed by doctors before; both of them left trauma to the toe. in one instance the whole nail was ripped off with no numbing and i couldn’t walk for several days, the other instance the doctor wrapped the toe with the wrong gauze which healed into the wound and i had to pull bits of gauze out from my skin, causing me to distrust doctors near my toes.
but i still seek some advice on what to do if anyone has ideas on how to help naturally remove the nail pictured.
i have been soaking in epsom salt.
