I broke my fingernail about half way down my nailbed. It was so far down it was bleeding. I have fixed cracked nails before however I have never had one this bad before. I was planning on using superglue but is there anything else I can do for it? It hurts alot!

You can put a silk wrap on it.First, I'd put some neosporin, or something to clean it out and make sure no bacteria sets in.After that sets for a bit, you can put the silk wrap on it.

Assuming you are not joking. Try soaking your hand in acetone based nail polish remover. Soaking in warm water also helps to break the bond, as your skin softens

you are probably correct in that you broke your toe, unfortunately there isn't much to do for them but give them time to heal.  you might want to consider an xray to make sure the toe is in good alignment.  if so, just use coflex tape to keep second toe taped to third toe for alignment.  it is best to use a shoe with a stiff sole and support (not a tennis shoe they are too flexible).  i do have a great website you should check out for some additional information and products to help  your toe heal.  use the source as direct link to site.

You probaly did what we used to call jammed it.  If the finger was fractured you would feel sick to your stomach and maybe even throw up.  Also, if it were fractured, it would be misshapen.  In other words it would point or look in an odd direction.  There is a possibility of fracture though.  I would keep trying to move it, keep icing it and watch it.  If it doesn't get better, i would definitely have it x-rayed to make sure.  You could probably wait a couple more days though.

soak your fett n get a pair of those tiny scissors n cut right up the side of the nail or rip it out it will feel better.To numb it just put ice for 20 min.

Do you bit your nails or the skin around them? I know that can cause small infection in your fingers.\n\nI would soak my nail in luke warm water mixed with dissolved Epsom salt for 10-15 minutes a couple time a day. This is kill the infection and bring down the swelling. Good luck!

I work for a foot specialist.  If a doctor removed your nail then you should have been given oral or written instructions(we give written ones) on when to unwwrap the bandage and remove it.  Also what to put on it (Usually some type of antibiotic ointment, or prescription drops or neosporin-depends on your health criteria as to what to use) and after a certain period of time, you should also be soaking it once or twice a day in warm epsom salt water.  Call the Dr. that removed your nails ASAP!!!!!  You should also be going back for a re-check in 10-14 days or so as well.

You have probably jammed your thumb...It's gonna take a big while to heal...It is custom to recommend ice when treating a jammed thumb. But every time I've tried that, it has been futile. Instead I put some water on to heat and add salt to it. Epsom salt works the best, but any other will do fine. The water is not exactly boiling, but close to it. You take this hot water and place it in a container, and dip the corner of a small towel in it. Put the wet corner over your thumb for as long as you can take it. Keep doing this, and once the temperature of the water is bearable, put your whole thumb in it. Keep doing this, and keep reheating the water if it becomes warm of cold. If you do this right after the thumb gets sprained, it will reduce swelling, turning purple or and reduce the pain. The results are fast, and much more effective than ice. The healing process is also shortened if you repeat it for some days. If you're going to be involved in some activity, tape the thumb up because you want the least movement possible.

When our son was in middle school he had the very same surgery on both toes. Three weeks later he was wearing hiking boots on a Boy Scout trek and back packing up the side of a mountain. The skin under where the toenails used to be is tender right now because it's used to being protected by the toenail, and suddenly the toenail's not there. It will take a few days for the skin to toughen up a little. It will get better rather quickly. I know it won't seem quick to you, but it will be over soon.

Now, what do you mean cut off? Did you have a wedge resection (where they cut a wedge on the affected side), a nail removal (nail removed, but nail bed intact), or a full removal where they destroy the nail bed? I've had wedge resections and they grow back normally, though the ingrown wasn't cured. Then I had to have both my big toe nails fully removed. I just have small parts of the nail that are growing back where the dr didn't fully destroy the nail bed. It was extremely painful for days afterwards, but I guess worth not having to deal with recurring ingrown nails.

Toenails are tough.  Ever heard that?  Tougher than toenails..\n\nBut there is a chance that hiding behind your injury you have nail fungus.  Perhaps you had it before, in fact.  I cannot see your toenail from here so only a doctor or somei=one in the know could tell you for sure, but toenails that grow upward or have thickening can be fungus infected.  A damaged toenail has to be pretty damaged to not finally heal. You would have to have something eqaul to a horse stepping on your toe to do irreversable damage.  \n\nIt sounds like you love your toes, see a doc, be sure you do not have fungal toenail.  Easy to treat in the start, hard to treat when it is older and established.  \n\nI have seen a lot of fungal toenails in my time.  I am against them.  \n\nGood luck.  Take care.

It's possible you bumped it again in your sleep.  There isn't much you can do with an injured finger.  Get a finger splint from the drug store to keep it straight for a few days, use it especially at night.  When you are just watching TV at night, take it off and flex your finger.  If you can't bend it, it's broken, if you can, it's just a sprain.  No need for medical attention if it's just a sprain, take some mortrin to help the pain/swelling.

I've had that happen when I smashed my finger and yeah it's just a blood bubble under your skin from  the bruise. You don't have to do anything to it but it can take quite a while to go away. As long it's not too big I wouldn't worry too much!

sometimes they don't see the fracture. espeicily if oyu moved onthe xray.\n but splint is usually the cure for either. if its not to otu of line\nif it gets really bad or hurts too much go back.. or maybe go somewhere else.\nunfortunately after 24 houts if there is a big problem it might need to be rebroke. if you can go to an orhtopedist for follow up and tellyou how to rehab it ,that would be a good idea.\n\nor read sites below.\n\nFinger Injuries - Finger Fractures\nLearn about finger fractures, also called broken fingers.

Sure, you cut a V at the top of the nail, and it will pull the ingrown toenail out of the surrounding skin to "heal itself".  Or you can dig and dig at it and cut the darn thing out of your skin (of course that hurts like a biatch). I had that problem.  Try wearing a wider shoe, don't leave your socks on all the time, and keep your toenails clipped.  This will help.

This is really wierd but i swear it works!  Vicks Vaporub.  Use it on the nail and in a few months it's gone.  I swear!  Read it in one of the medical columns in the news paper, the Dr. swears by it!
