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 ?
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.
