I've noticed something wrong with only this toe. It has been in this condition for about 3 months now. The nail is intact but very loosely on the sides, in the middle however, it's so loose I could just pull it off, very weird. I don't know what that spongy part is, if it's my nail bed or not? But I thought it was just dried skin, like a callus, so I cut it off and the skin started bleeding immediately. There are like black specks in it. Please help inform me what is wrong with my toe!

Toe Nail Infection? Fungus? HELP!
Find low drug prices at local & online pharmacies
I wonder if you have any pain and/or fluid leaking from this area like pus? The picture is not 100% clear but there is concern that perhaps you have had an ingrown toenail given that the nail was loose etc. You should see a provider soon for them to examine it in person and if it is an ingrown toenail antibiotics and removal of the nail(it will grow back) may be indicated.
