FINGER AND TOE NAILS FALLING OFF

I have a question in regards to finger nails and toe nails falling off. My son is almost 3 and all of the sudden his finger nails started falling off from the back of the nail. Then I noticed that his toes are doing the same thing. If you could please tell me what could be causing this…that would be extremely helpful. thanks

    My daughter, Riley (6yrs) had what I thought was an inground toe nail on her big toe. It first appeared three weeks ago, red inflamed then pussy now the nail has detached from the one side. Two of her fingers also started pealing and then become red and irritated. Last night she and her sister were playing ball and the ball hit her little pinkie nail and it popped off. Could this be a fungus? Is there something else it could be? We have been soaking her toe in peroxide and then putting cortizone and a triple antibiotic oint on every night. Her toe is no longer inflamed, but is still red and the toe nail has detached. I am worried that this has somehow spread to other finger nails. What do you think?
