Can you help me with my problem?
So, last night my dad stepped on my foot... my pinky toe nail hurt but didn't discolor. Today i went swimming and I came in to do my nails and when I was removing nail polish from pinky toe nail it started falling off but didnt. It had a regular nail color just whiter. It pulled back but didn't pull off completely( but was hooked on by just a little bit). should i pull the nail off completely or let it sit there and why did this happen???

If you pull it off it will hurt bad. Put a bandage on your toe and let the nail fall off naturally. The reason the nail did that is the pressure of your dad stepping on your foot cracked the nail bed and made it lift. Once the nail is off it will grow back quickly.

It might die and fall off on it's own. If you pull of the last piece it may hurt pretty bad but the nail should grow back out. If you don't pull it off I would at least clip it down to where it is attached so it doesn't snag on anything.

the angle and pressure broke the nail without causing bruising, go ahead and remove the broken portion, keep the nailbed covered with a bandaid, the nail will grow back.
