Anyone ever lose a toenail entirely?....
    #26104416 -

The big toenail on my right foot fell off today.

I believe the original damage was done from dancing like a mad man all weekend at a festy a couple months ago...It was raining a lot (dancing in the pouring rain while high as a kite was one of my favorite trips/times in life ever) and I was wearing boots that weren't fully broken in yet, and from dancing around a lot all weekend somehow my toenail got pushed in/up and lifted & seperated a bit off the nail-bed (not much pain was felt, just a slightly sore toe/foot, not much different than how my feet usually feel after lots of dancing or long hikes).

Then a couple weeks ago I went on a backpacking trip.....When I got home from that trip I noticed my big toe nail was kinda separated from the tissue and kinda "loose" looking, I was actually able to wiggle it around a bit. No pain or discomfort at all though.


Fast forward to today...I glanced down at my foot and noticed the nail was pulled back and barely hanging on lol, a gentle tug on it and it pulled off....the whole thing, the entire toenail lol. NO pain at all, just some very very mild "discomfort" around my toe (mostly just a weird feeling having no nail lol, probably psychosomatic).


I just plan on keeping the area clean/dry...I'll probably wrap some gauze around my toe when wearing socks/shoes because the nail-bed (the area usually underneath the nail) is kinda sensitive to the touch. I walk barefoot most of the time, but if I'm wearing socks & shoes I can see the nail-bed becoming a bit irritated.

I read it can take up to 18 months for a new big toenail to grow back lol.

I have another backpacking trip coming up later this month, I hope hiking with no toenail doesn't become an issue lol (it's really not a big deal...but infection is likely somewhat of risk I'd assume, I'll just keep an eye on it at the beginning and end of each day of hiking).




Has anyone else ever lost a toenail or a nail in general?...It is really strange having the entire nail missing on my big toe lol.

I hurt a toenail on an obstacle so that it stood on crooked. I bit down on a piece of cloth and pulled it out with a pipe wrench.

It hurt :cookiemonster:

I've smashed fingers with a hammer on multiple occasions. Almost always when it's cold out so the pain is that much worse. They usually fill with blood and then fall apart soon after. Definitely a weird feeling and you might want to do a practice hike with your pack to make sure everything is ok.

I claw the ground when I run, can't help it, I ran over 40 miles one week and the nail looked bruise then fell right off one day, pretty nuts.

lost my thumbnail.

It was a rather slow process, and all extremely painful.

Because it got smashed (not literally, just hit really hard on someones helment) and turned purple/started coming off towards/at the back.

And i played football at the time, it kept snagging peoples pratice jerseys and slowly tearing a little at a time.

it was agonizing because it was still fully connected to the nailbed except for the very back corner at first and every time it would snag a jersey it would rip from the nailbed a little more. I didnt wear gloves because i didnt want to look like a pussy :lol:

I feel like my pain tolerance is pretty high, and it hurt enough to put me down a few times.

one night i sat down and just yanked it off, about half of it was already gone. Well, more like slowly pulled it off. My god that was so traumamtizing :lol:

Yeah i have. Its a weird feeling and like u said it doesnt hurt.

About 8 years ago, i was in Hawaii back home. My friends wanted to play soccer at the park, so i put on my old soccer shoes (which are not too small for me). They were tight on my foot but whatevas.

Was kicking the ball around and one time i kicked it, i felt a slight pain in my big toe. Didnt think much of it. Kept playing soccer, but it felt uncomfortable in my feet. Then when i finally took my shoe off to see what was going on, i saw my big toe nail completely came off. It was an odd feeling not having that nail there, a naked feeling.

After that, i kept it bandaged up so it wouldnt feel so weird. Took a whole year to grow back! Learned my lesson, trim your toe nails before playing soccer at the least and wear proper sized shoes!

From dancing?  I fractured a bone in my foot just from it, a stress fracture, but losing a toenail?  Wow. 

Guess anything is possible at festivals and dancing close to people. Shoe choice  Never heard of that, that must suck and be a really strange feeling that thankfully I have never experienced.  Only from a NFL Q.B. thanking his fans for their support from the Redskins.

Shitty even thinking about it.  Ahhh, time for the next one.  :fuckyeah:  :beer::chillpill:

Strange how it must grow back, just slowly forming all over?  I don't know.  Don't want to research it as this thought sucks, lol.  How ones physiology and anatomy and time work, strange the different beliefs about it.

I lost a finger or thumb nail hitting my hand on the corner of a metal guard for a large conveyor. We made horse feed and I had to cut the twine off the bales before they got to the end. The tool slipped. I think it took 8 months from falling off to grown back. I remember piercing it to relieve the pressure because I could tell it was gonna fall off. Odd feeling, not having a nail. Hard to know the importance of fingernails until you don't have one

I’ve stubbed the same pinky toe nail recently to where it fell off. One I had to cut off which sucked but it was barely hanging on. I try not to think about it or look at it.

Just like you openmind I smashed up a big toenail a couple of months ago from dancing like a madman for days.

I got in under it with a pin though and let the pressure out, had to prick it a few till it fully settled. Loads of clear stuff mixed with blood came out.

Looked like I might lose it for a while, but its there still. Just kinda has a purple tint that is growing out.

It happens hey.


I've lost other nails before from being hit various ways. After the first one I learned the signs though and get on them quickly to relieve the pressure, however necessary. I've even burned holes in my nails with hot pins to let out blisters underneath. Beats losing them altogether.

same exact thing happened to me twice but playing basketball

blood pooled under the nail and then eventually, twice, it just completely came off

I'm losing toenails at a rate of about 2 or 3 a year. I used to drop them from skiing bumps and trees but now it's just like one bad hit and *POOF* it's gone. They're also growing back in weird. They used to grow back all new and baby-like, now it's like the shell of a tortoise. Weird shit.

I've had it happen a couple of times when I was a teenager, generally from injuring it somehow. It was pretty painful as a teenager (possibly more due to the injury than the toenail itself), but people experience less pain the older they get anyway, so I imagine as an adult it might not even hurt. It sucks though, it always feels weird and wrong to me, I definitely try to avoid it.

Plus, one time it happened when I was a teenager, the nail grew back wrong and cut through part of my skin until the skin finally had scarred over enough that it just kinda adapted and stopped bleeding all the time. That fucking sucked.

God, what the fuck?  I have lived a half life and never has even on my pinkie toe has one fallen off.

Been active in sports, hiking hundreds of miles, blisters sucked but so what?  Spread the Goo.  Wow, last thing in life I worry about is losing a nail.  Just curious how it comes back but that is what Google is for.:shrug:
