Health Query

Hi, I have 3 questions to ask but first the problem. So the problem is my left foot second toe nail which is the long toe, it’s color is black but not fully black and it’s currently wanting to break. So my first question is should I take it out myself or just leave it and it will take it out by itself? Second question is will it grow back again, if so how long will it take to grow? The last question is when my long toe does’t have a toe nail or it’s growing, can I play sports like basketball?

If your toenail turns black, it's most likely a bruise under the nail, technically called a subungual hematoma. You can get it from stubbing a toe or from footwear that cram your feet into the front of the shoe.

An ingrown toenail happens when the corner or edge of your toenail curves and grows into the surrounding skin. This may cause pain, redness, and swelling. The condition is very common in both men and women. Your big toe is most likely to be affected.
