General Surgeon,  's  Response
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.
