How To Remove Black Dot Underneath The Nail After Hitting The Door?

I hit my finger in the car door and it caused a cut that touches the nail. I am able to move my finger and to perform daily functions with it. It just happened today and now there is a really small/miniature black dot underneath the nail and it is worrying me. Can you help? By the way I am a kid but my dad is right next to me.

Hi.
As per your case history you may be having simple purpuric rash beneath nail due to trauma.
No need to any treatment in your case. It will get cured on its own.
Only it is causing pain then you can take NSAID like ibuprofen.

Thanks.
