after a daft long ride a while back I really bruised my big toe and the nail went a funny purple colour

Its now loose and so I was wondering if I should just yank it off?

not painful, just I like to fiddle!

STW already has the answer.

Let it be for few more days then yank it off or let it drop off naturally.

😆 It’s easy to pile it up but just the last bit that attaches to the corner of your toe that can have a bit of a stink if you yank it. Like needle prick if you yank it off quickly.

Eat it!

I did that last month. the nail bed is super sensitive for a while!

I was keeping the nail for posterity, but ma woman though it would be best to flush it.

Never had so much as a sore nail from running a marathon, am I doing it wrong?
