I too had fungus issues for more years than I can remember. They grew very thick and ugly and had ingrown to the point of infection because I couldn’t clip them anymore. Over the years, different Doctors tried everything to help from pills, liquids, to home remedies, nothing helped. So at 78, I decided to have them both completely removed, yep, Talk about pain, the needle to numb wasn’t to bad and the procedure took about 2 minutes and I actually watched. Then came the healing process, now that’s a very painful problem for me. The left one came off in October 2021 and the right January 2022. I have a rare blood condition where precancerous cells are roaming around my body looking for a home to become full blooded cancer. Like people with diabetes, my toes are having trouble healing because of it. The right one still bleeds a little and the left one is almost completely healed after 8 months. I do not miss those two nails and happy they’re gone. The left one actually looks like it has a nail but it’s the skin that has healed. I can finally wear sandals soon and be thrilled to put polish on them and walk around and proudly show off my nailless big toes. Oh, by the way, my pediatrist agreed that blood disorders can slow the healing process. From my own experience, your body will try to protect the damaged skin underneath the toenail. So keep an eye out for a second toenail trying to grow under the original. I had it happen and he had to surgically remove it. Not to scare you but if your skin can not reattach itself to the original, you’ll probably have to have the whole nail down to the nail bed removed. Don’t worry tho, the nail bed is where a whole new nail will start to grow. In my case, the doctor chemically destroyed the nail bed so a new one would not grow. Good luck.
