I've lost a big toenail a few times through playing football, as it's known all over the world apart from in America.
They take up to a year to grow back.

I lost a finger nail. Took forever to grow back.

This happened to me a few times while running and just stubbing my toe on closet doors and the like. You can tape it up (watch out for the band-aid/adhesive ripping-off thing), but only time will heal you, my son.

hahaha janne... I would recommend taking the time in the morning to tape it up right. I've avoided many clothes-tearing-bandage accidents by doing a very clean tape job. Yeah sometimes it's bound to come undone or whatever but still better to take some care

eat heaps of marshmallows or anything with gelatin...
I have to keep my toe and finger nails nice and trim because of karate and I always have to cut them more in winter due to all the hot chocolate and marshmallows that I have. :)

One of my friends got a horrible ingrown toenail in high school from skateboarding. I'd had a couple from playing football that required light surgery to clear out the infected part, and slice up the nail so it would grow straight again. Truly fascinating stuff watching the doctor just grind away at my toe with tools and dig out grossness. Took 14 shots to numb my big toe. We all hit an age where pus is cool... the two I had came along right at that age.
Anyhow, my friend had it really bad but never told me until one day he had his shoes off in the house and I noticed blood in his sock. He just goes, "dude, I don't want to show you this but I'm gonna anyways." Takes his sock off, and Oh My God... his big toe was FUCKED UP. The outside part around the nail looked like chewed up salami. It looked so absolutely painful I couldn't even believe he'd been skateboarding on it for weeks. I have no idea what took him so long to go to the doctor, but it was months before he did so. I remember him showing it to me again, maybe a year later or something and it was still sick. How he never lost his toe I'll never know. I shudder to even remember any of this.

sounds like you have a toe infection if it's black.
Its a fungus you get from sweaty feet. there is an antibiotic you can take.... Takes about a week to clear up

The nail came off cleanly and left a thin fleshy pink nail. I've kept the old nail, it's on my mantle piece, I often sit in front of the fire looking at it remembering the good times.
