How to remove blood clots in nails

In daily work and life, you may accidentally injure your fingernails, which may cause bruises. If bruises occur, you should use ice compresses in time to relieve them, which can relieve pain and swelling to a certain extent. If the bruises are serious, you should go to the hospital for examination in time. At this time, you can treat it by removing the nails. Let’s take a look at this aspect.

How to remove blood clots in nails

1. Ice relief

Ice compress can reduce vascular permeability, cause blood vessels in the injured area to contract, relieve local congestion, thereby reducing local exudation and preventing the spread of local congestion in the injured area. Therefore, you can use ice packs or cold water for ice compress within 24 hours after your finger is pinched.

2. Hot compress treatment

24 hours after your finger is pinched by a door and bruised, you can use a hot towel or a hot water bottle to apply heat to the bruised area. This can promote local blood circulation and help the bruise dissipate.

3 Automatic healing growth

If your fingernails are painless and not infected, and the nail congestion is not serious, but just simple subungual congestion, you can let it grow automatically and observe for a period of time. If the congestion in the nails disappears, there is no need to worry. Trim your nails every week, eat more high-protein foods, let the nails grow quickly, and the congestion will disappear soon.

4 Cactus Removal

Remove the small thorns of the cactus and crush them, then apply them to the bruised fingernails. Apply it several times a day. New nails will slowly grow, the damaged nails will fall off naturally, and the bruises will dissipate.

5. Release the blood clots

This method needs to be performed by a professional and cannot be done by yourself. This method is to use a red-hot thin needle to "burn a hole" in the nail at the site of the blood clot, and the blood clot will come out and be released. However, this method is generally not used unless it is absolutely necessary.

6. Pull out your nails

If some fingernail bruises are very severe, you can also use the method of pulling out the nail to remove the bruise more quickly. However, this method is not recommended. Not only do you have to endure the pain of pulling out the nails, but it may also cause a second injury to your fingers due to pulling out the nails.

If your finger is pinched by the door and causes black bruises, severe pain, inflammation or other discomfort, you must seek medical attention and treatment promptly.
