Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. Yes, it is a good sign of falling nail. Fungal infection of the nail is very notorious as it can grow new one only after old infected ones fall out. This is the reason why the nail requires long term therapy to cure you. It s been three to four month therapy which is essential for the growth of the new nail. Please make good hygiene locally as new growing nail emerge out from the old one. Further infection because of the old one because of bad hygiene can create obstacle in the process. Please wear cotton shocks as synthetic material can be more favorable for the infection. Avoid excessive sweating until you are all cured with. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor.
