I am so glad I looked on the web and found this post as well as another that talks about Hand Foot and Mouth and subsequent nail peeling from the base. My 5 yr old son had HFMD about 6 weeks ago and the majority of his toe and fingernails are peeling from the base and I was going to take him to the doctor, but I feel ok just watching it now. He has new nail growth and isn't in any pain.View Thread
