Does A White Bruised Toenail Oozing Clear Liquid Need Attention?

About 2 and a half months ago, I was stepped on while playing soccer. Three of my toenails were bruised. Yesterday, one of the bruised toenail came half loose. I noticed that my fat toe (that is also bruised) started turning white from the inside of toenail. Today after showering, I laid down and then I was looking at my toenail. It appeared more white and then I noticed it was oozing clear liquid. Should I go see a doctor? What could it possibly be?

Since your toenail got severed the skin below it is trying to heal. The white fluid is the serum that is normal to the process. u shuldnt worry if there is no bleeding. But if the toes themselves are getting pale then it might indicate ischemia.u should consult a GP n till then Keep the wound clean n apply antiseptic dressing. N get tetanus toxoid shots if u haven't already.
