Lol, That is so funny, I hot a bacteria under my toenails a year ago. First it was take the infected nails off. Then all got infected and i had to remove all toenails and have acid dropped on them. Thank you for trying to help but this isnt a toenail situation. whatever it may be I don't they will find out the answer until im autopsy.

Maybe the toenail is dead, If it is black, its dead and need to come off.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Toenails can get detached due to underlying: infection (fungal or otherwise), dermatitis, psoriasis, and trauma or bleeding. It can also be due to thyrotoxicosis or high levels of thyroid hormones.
I think your friend should discuss these possibilities with a skin specialist or his PCP. It is difficult to comment beyond this without examining. A comprehensive investigation is required keeping all the points in mind. Take care!

I have had the same thing happen, and I was so scared i cryed because I had all sorts of crazy things crossing my mind. I went to the docs and he said it was bad circulation in my feet and when wearing runners I wasnt getting enough. he also said if it was something serious then all the toenails would fall off at the same time. hope that helps a bit :)
