What Causes Brown Fluid Discharge After Having A Detached Toe Nail?
Hi back in May I was wearing heels for a long period of time and when I got home I could barely walk after taking them off, later I found both of my toe nails black. Yesterday I was running without shoes and slid in the grass causing one of my nails to be ripped off from where it was still attached. Today my nail is still pretty attached and keeps leaking sticky brownish red fluid. I have no idea what to do now any suggestions?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having collection of blood under toe nail producing black appearance.
Now it seems that there might be having some toe nail infection giving rise leaking of brownish red fluid.
Clean toe nail and apply bandage with antibiotic cream.
Due to bandage toe nail will be fix afterwards.
Go for one course of antibiotic medicine for 3-5 days to clear the infection.
Ok and take care.
