Suggest Treatment For Bleeding From Under Toenail After Injury

I stubbed my toe on a vacuum cleaner, I didn t realize it was bad till I seen blood come out from underneath my toe nail. It had a little cut right under tha top of my nail & a clear liquid keeps oozing out when I put pressure on it. It s been 3 day now & still hurts a little when I walk & put pressure on it. How long is it going to take to heal & stop oozing ?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
from history it seems that there might be having some nail bed infection producing oozing.
Clean the part with warm water and apply antibiotic cream.
Within 3-4 days it will be healed up.
If there is no improvement then you might require one course of antibiotic medicine for 3 days.
Ok and take care.
