Suggest Treatment For Severe Infection And Broken Thumb Nail Post Injury

I have just lost my thumb nail as a result of injury and a severe infection that ensued. What do I need to do to take of my finger so I don t get another infection and to help the healing process of growing a new nail? Should I make an appointment to see a doctor?

HI
Well come to HCM
Now you need to be very careful for any further injury to the nail bed, take care for nail bed because this is very tender area and can be injured very easily, else no need to worry about the healing soon you would get the new nail, hope this helps.
