How To Recover From The Blood Blister Underneath The Nail?

I banged my thumbnail into a door jam and now I have a blood blister underneath the nail, and under the skin next to nail. The blister is large and full of bloody fluid. I have drained the blister three times in two days. Now my entire thumb is bright red and the redness continues from my thumb to my wrist.

Hi,

I have gone through your query and it seems to be an acneform eruption.

I would recommend you to apply benzoyl peroxide gel on the affected area and take antihistaminic like tablet cetirizine.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
