Suggest Treatment For Painful Displaced Nail From Finger After Injury
Hi , my friend slammed her car truck closed on my finger like a month ago and I went to the doctor to get the nail drained , then 2 weeks ago I could pull half of it off but then nail wouldn t come out cause it s attached to a piece of skin and it hurts , so I left it alone and now if I don t wear a band aid he oozes this Yellow ish and clear liquid , What should I do ? Is it infected?

WHAT YOU HAVE SUFFERED IS CRUSH INJURY WITH PARTIAL AVULSION OF YOUR FINGER NAIL. BLOOD HAS BEEN DRAINED AND NOW YPU SAY YOU ARE HAVING YELLOWISH DISCHARGE AND NAIL IS LOOSE AND ATTACHED TO A SKIN TAG AT NAIL BED. I WOULD RECOMMEND SURGICAL REMOVAL OF THE REMENANT NAIL SO NEW NAIL GROWS AND INFECTION GETS CONTROLLED.
