This is a bit grim actually - about 2 wks ago the whole family was in the garden and lo started really screaming! No one saw what happened but it was obvious she had hurt herself . There wasn't a mark on her so we just comforted her and forgot bout it.
A couple of days later, her big toenail turned black - so that's where she had hurt herself! Then she banged it again, and it bled quite a bit. So I mopped it up, sprayed savlon on it and put on a plaster. Next day the nail wasn't black anymore - so I thought fine!
In the bath tonight I noticed the nail is half hanging off! (Yuk sorry!) There is no blood and it doesn't seem to be hurting her so I have just left it. But I'm a bit worried - will it just come off naturally do you think? and then grow back normally?
What would you lovely ladies do ??

I wouldn't touch it too much in the meantime. Just keep it as clean as possible.

Well the old nail came off yesterday, and there is just a bare pretty pink toe now! No sign of any injury/infection - so I guess it's just a case of keeping nice and clean and letting the new nail grow back.
It obviously feels a bit funny to her as she points at it and goes 'oooooh!' but it doesn't seem to hurt her - bless!
Thanks again ladies,
