Where did this come from??? GROSS!!!

So I've always had annoying "big toe" toenails, they don't grow well, they peel, etc. I've tried everything under the sun OTC to fix this problem but nothing works. Well about a week ago I noticed that they were kind of yellow, today my mom was over and I asked her to look at them and tell me what she thought and whether I need to go to the dr or not. I take my foot out of my sock and one of my toenails is coming off of the nail bed and is extremely yellow! I was so grossed out, it wasn't like that yesterday! My mom was like, uhhh, yeah, I'd say you have a fungus, you need to call your dr. I called, have an appt for tomorrow, but how gross! Where on earth did I get it? EWWW, I'm totally skeeved out right now!

Re: Where did this come from??? GROSS!!!
Sounds like your mom is right, sounds like a foot fungus to me. You could have picked it up anywhere, really.
I have lost a toenail before, it isn't that huge of a deal. Mine was from a bad stub though. It didn't bruise or anything, one day it was sore and I touched it, none of my nail was connected to anything. I pulled it right out of the nail bed. It was my second nail though. It took about 6 months to grow back.
I have lost a couple of toenails before, one was from kid stomping on my foot when I was in grade school, they other was from a horse stepping on my foot. It just really grosses me out that I got a fungus, I do wear flip flops a lot so maybe that's how I aquired it.
LOL...I was just thinking, my toenail will grow back right before I'm due, that's good, considering I don't want people looking at my feet while I'm in labor and saying, "Sorry, I'm not holding her leg, did you see her toe!" LOL, I'm such a dork.
I don't blame you even a little for that. I hate hate HATE people touching my feet. Hate it. I am too self conscious about it, and that would be the first thing I would think of too!
The morning I went into labor I painted my toenails...and let me tell you, that was a sight to see. And you know what? They give you socks while you are in labor, so no one even saw my toes!
LOL, I bet...I can't paint my toenails now, let alone when I get to be 9 months along! I'd have my actual toes painted not the nails!
