Has anyone experienced toe nail issues? For some odd reason, I had 2 of my toenails fall off without pain, and I feel more of them are on the same route?? Please help!

Yes. Constant fungus/psoriasis that never really goes away..... Ingrown toenails as well probably because of the thick nails.

Yes, I forgot I experienced that about 3 yrs ago until you mentioned your situation. So much happens that you forget or push back in your mind so you can deal with the present and prepare for the future. 2 fell off of my left foot really easily. I noticed when I would do my own pedicure that I could push the inside further than usual then one day afterwards I was getting in bed at my moms and pulled the cover up and felt the tug and there goes a toenail. Sounds gross but true no. No bleeding just raw skin. I do have issue with circulation in my legs so I felt that was the issue. I don't remember going to doctor about that but I was treated for a foot fungal infection, can't remember if it was around the same time. Hope you get better answers. Sorry to sound gross!! The nails grew back but not as straight or pretty as the first ones😊👣😊

Not gross to me, that's life! Thank you for sharing your story, it makes me feel a little bit better that I'm not alone dealing with this! Hugs!!

Oh wow really? This is crazy how this sickness takes over everything! It's making me self conscious about wearing sandals!

I thought I had a fungal infection...labs said no. Three are discoloured, one on my left hand looks like I may lose it, one toe nail is a mess, and 4/5 fingernails are white lines and some bubbly. I used to have nice long nails...now they’re embarrassing.
