toe
If your toe is loose, that could be a problem. You may have a broken toe. If its your toenail that's loose, then that isn't a problem. It's common to get blood underneath your toenail when you injure your toe. That causes the nail to loosen from the nail bed. I would cut any part of the nail not attached to the nail bed. If it continues to be a problem, then I would follow up with your local podiatrist. READ MORE
