I hurt myself by accident...?

Question

i hit my foot on the corner of a bed and i really only hit my pinky toe. the nail went kinda back, its up halfway, and i could see some blood underneath. what should i do?

Answer 1

thats normal! leave it! it will go away in time to come..no big deal! :)

Answer 2

Wash it well, push the nail back down, put a bandage on it and let it heal.

Answer 3

All you can do is to wait for it to heal. I can tell you, it heals really slow. Your situation... it happens to me before.

Answer 4

Put some ice on it and leave it alone. If you place a wrap to push it back down tightly, it will cause pressure buildup from the blood beneath and start thumping. You no doubt will lose that nail, and a new one will grow in it's place. It will take time though. You might take some sterilized nail clippers and cut off part of the nail that is sticking up which will at least keep it from hurting more when you put on shoes or socks. Apply some Triple Antibiotic Cream like Neosporin all over it, wear some white socks. That's about all you can do until the old nail falls off and the new one grows in. Best to you young lady.

Answer 5

cut off the loose part. it'll hurt for a few days.  

Answer 6

Aw hun ouch !

If you are in a lot of pain, then go to A&E, you might well have broken your pinky toe also. If you can't get there, get some strips of bad aid & bind your pinky toe to the next toe for some support & walk on your heal for a few days until your pain has subsided & you can comfortably bare weight on it again. Used pain relief also if needed.

Good Luck. I hope your pinky toe heals soon. X :-)
