What to do if there is bruising on the nail

It is common in life that fingernails are crushed and cause bruising. This often leads to black clots inside the fingernails. This is blood stasis. To avoid infection, you can use iodine or alcohol to disinfect, and you can use cold compresses to relieve swelling. Of course, we know that bruising on the fingernails may cause the fingernails to fall off, so we should pay attention to this aspect.

What to do if there is bruising on the nail

1. As we all know, when we use medicine, we usually use it on open wounds. It is generally not easy to use medicine where there are no open wounds. Therefore, we need to avoid touch and stimulation as much as possible to prevent injured cells and capillaries from rupturing further and to ensure that blood stasis does not increase. I believe everyone thinks that safflower oil can be used to help eliminate blood stasis. In fact, this method is incorrect, because safflower oil is irritating and will accelerate the blood seepage in ruptured capillaries and increase blood stasis, so it cannot be used. I suggest that you consult a doctor's advice when using medication, so as to help eliminate blood stasis faster.

2. When blood stasis appears under our nails, sometimes we will feel pain. Don’t touch it often. Just endure it for two or three days and the pain will slowly disappear. I hope everyone can do this and don’t take medicine casually, which will cause more serious consequences.

3. Our human body has the function of self-repair. When blood clots appear under our nails, the nail will slowly fall off by itself and a new nail will grow underneath. Everyone should know that the growth of nails has a certain cycle, so there is no need to worry too much. It takes time for the distance from the deepest part of the blood clot to the fingertips. Therefore, during this period of time, everyone should protect the injured nail well and try not to touch it roughly, so that the nail will slowly grow a new one by itself. Generally speaking, this period is about 2-3 months. Everyone must be patient and wait. The nails will slowly recover on their own.

To sum up, we have introduced in detail what to do if there is blood stasis in the nail. I hope you can read the above content carefully. When you encounter this situation, you must learn to deal with it yourself, and then go to the hospital for effective treatment in time, so as to promote the elimination of blood stasis.
