toe nails

I have two toe nails, the 3rd toe on each foot that are lifting and are going to fall off.
I didn’t have any trauma to either, no pain, no signs of any fungus, the nails itself is normal, light all the others.
Someone else posted this same problem in August of 2013 but there was no response.
I hope to hear from you and thank you in advance for any information or knowledge you may have about his problem.

    Toenails can fall off due to many of the reasons you stated. If the shoes are too short or the toes hit the end of the shoe during activity, then the nails might do this. Hammer toes can cause the nails to deform as well. There are other possible reasons but without seeing the feet, I can’t guess. I suggest you see a podiatrist for further evaluation.
