If your toenail has died and is only holding on by the edges - should you have the nail removed or try to hold it in place while it grows back?
If possible, keep it on. (I used surgical tape for several months) It'll protect the very tender nail bed while the new nail grows out. The old will eventually come off anyhow, and the later the less uncomfortable.

Why is your big toenail black?
By definition, your toenails, as well as your hair, and as opposed to your skin - is always dead. What happens if it gets black is that you've had a bleed under the nail, in the nail bed. That kind of thing will often - but not always - disturb the growth zone of the nail somewhere behing the cuticle. When that happens, the nail will no longer be able to grow as a continuous unit. There'll be a stop in the growth, a break in the nail, and then there'll be a new nail. As the new nail grows the old will be pushed ahead and eventually fall off.
