Bruised Toe Nail, Little Bleeding, Mild Soreness, Small Oozing Coming Out. How Can This Be Healed?
I bruised my big toenail the other day (my foot slipped and my toe hit the bottom of a table). There was a little bleeding around the edges that night and mild soreness the past couple of days but seemed ok. Now there is a small bit of oozing coming out of the end if the nail. What's happening and what can I do to help it heal?

Hi, it appears that your toe nail has separated from the under lying structures due to hit, It needs to be taken away, for healthy healing.
I advise you to consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. He will remove the nail from that place and give dressings for few days, and give medicines to prevent the infection. Thank you.
