If you are talking about the nail turning dark, you probably will lose that, but it should grow back. If you are talking about your toe turning dark, go to your doctor, immediately.

In my early 20s, I worked in a convalescence home in Tucson, where an ancient Native American woman lost her leg to gangrene. It started with an untreated toe injury....

If the nail is really dark down by the cuticle,you will probably lose it but you will see it grow out just fine. It is possible it may come off if it starts getting loose from the bed.Depends on how dark it is, just wait and see. OW wee, poor baby!!

You should have it looked at by doctor to be on the safe side. But it is probably nothing to worry about.

my toe nail fell off as a child due to injury it was kinda gross lol but it didn't look too bad just like cracked kinda skin. I did see a dr and she put me on antibiotics tho you are at risk for infection.

I had to have both my big toenails removed due to constant ingrown nails and infections. The nail bed is just smooth-looking. Don't worry!

I hit my little toe on a bedpost several years ago. Oh, it hurt like h*ll! The toe was red and purple and blue. The nail fell off about two weeks later, and it didn't even hurt like I thought it might.

The nail did grow back.
