How Long Does My Infected Toenail Take To Fall Off?

My big toenail has been separated from the nail bed for almost a year. It feels really loose now but not enough to come off. How much longer will it take before it falls off? It was yellowish at first but now is dark and looks dry in most spots. Sorry, can t afford to pay for an answer now. Thank you anyway.

Get your self treated with Itraconazole pulse therapy and amorolfine nail lacquer.
