Accidentally Hit The Toe Nail, Began To Bleed. Cause For The Clear Liquid Coming Out?
I had an accident on saturday while cleaning the back yard, I was moving a table (iron) and hit my toe against the bottom side of the table. It lifted my toe nail and it began to bleed , I pressed the toe nail back in place and put a bandaid but yesterday it started to come out clear liquid from the side of the nail. Should I worry? I did disinfect the area with alcohol but i am worried that it may be infected due the liquid. Should I go see a doctor?
Hi,
Welcome to HCm,
Consult your doctor and go for proper dressing.
To prevent infection he may give some antibiotic as by this time there might be some infection.
Go for injection Tetanus toxoid.
Ok and bye.
