It can be very painful to tear or rip your nail. We have many reasons, a nail may separate from the nail bed for, including:

Injuries.
- Separation caused by injury is common in people who have long fingernails.
- Severe or repetitive toe stubbing may cause a toenail to separate from the nail bed. This is also common in athletes who wear shoes that are not roomy enough.
- Fungal nail infection, which occurs when fungi invade a fingernail or toenail and the skin underneath the nail . Toenails are more commonly affected than fingernails, and symptoms include yellow, cracked, discolored, thickened, streaked, or spotted nails.

Skin fettle, such as psoriasis.
- Chemicals, such as acetone nail polish removers or some soaps.
- Medicines, such as chemotherapy or antimalarial medicines.
Severe illnesses.
- The usual treatment for a separated nail involves removing the nail, keeping the area dry to prevent infection, and waiting for a new nail to grow. The infection or skin condition that caused the separated nail will also need to be treated. Home treatment often helps relieve pain, promote healing, and prevent infection.

Once a nail separated from the foundation for whatever reason, it will not reattach. A new nail will grow back in its place. Nails grow back slowly. It takes about 6 months for fingernails and up to 18 months for a toenail to grow back.
