A few weeks ago my toe had been peeling and whatnot and sometimes cracking so I constantly scratched it. It healed up now but I noticed also in that time that my skin at the top of my toenail came apart from my nail, I waited a few weeks before really worrying. Now I've got sand in it and it hasn't got better..if anyone could give me some info I would appreciate it very much :bouncing:

Flush the area with peroxide to clean out the debris and to kill any bacteria, then apply antibacterial ointment. I would do this twice a day. If it doesn't heal up within 7-10 days, youmight want to see your physician. Sometimes we can get a fungal infection of the skin on the feet which would cause the cracking.
