What to do? Should I have a treatment? Will my nail heal naturally, etc?

Hello, I have had nail fungus for a few years, without having treated it, and my nail started to peel off tonight and half of it is now torn off.

Hello Sir,

Unfortunately, drugstore treatments are not effective for this type of problem because they do not penetrate the nail. You will need to consult a physician (and/or a podiatrist if it is a toenail) to assess the situation and possible treatment options.

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, Pharmacist
