if YOUR toenail IS completely FALLING off DON'T panic. IT'S quite common AND usually NOT serious. Just keep the area clean and dry. If it starts to hurt or bleed, cover with a bandage. Avoid tight shoes and socks. Don't pull the nail.. IT WILL likely grow back in a few months.. See a doctor if you have diabetes or poor circulation. REMEMBER to TAKE CARE of YOURSELF!

Last month, I had done small excisional biopsy of oral lesion in inner cheek. I had been diagnosed with mild to moderate Dysplasia. Within 20 days I feel a small white lesion has grown by the side of originally biopsied area. I discussed with doctor and he suggested me for wide excisional laser biopsy. What is the chance of cancer in this biopsy? Do I still have chance of re occurance?
Male | 32
Dysplasia indicates abnormal cell changes that could potentially lead to cancer if not treated. A wide excisional laser biopsy is recommended to remove the affected tissue and reduce the chances of cancer or recurrence. Only a pathologist can determine the chance of cancer based on the biopsy results.
