Question

can anyone help me????? It dosen't hurt anymore but, my nail is secure on my toe!!!!! HELP!

Answer 1

You just have to let it grow out.  That happened to me once - I dropped a stapler on my big toe and got blood build up under my toe.  Just had to paint my toes a dark color while I waited for it to grow out.

Answer 2

For future reference, If you ever stub your toe again.

You can have a doctor drain the blood while it is still liquid. Doesn't get it all out, but reduces it.

Also you can drill a hole in the toe nail yourself BY HAND. Don't use a power tool! Just twist a small sterilized drill bit back and forth until it penetrates the nail. I've done this many times. Usually on thumbs that lost an argument with a hammer. This also reduces the pain, when the pressure is released.

Answer 3

You broke it???!!!!

Get a doctor, gurl!

Answer 4

When your toe nail grows out the dried up blood will follow. Once the blood gets to the end of your toe cut your nail and its gone!

Answer 5

Let it be - it is part of the healing process [ sort of like a scab ].

It will have to grow out.

If toenail is intact [ not broken, whole ] put nail polish over it.
