What to do if your toenails are black?

The phenomenon of blackened nails is very common in our daily life, especially when walking or doing something. If you are not careful, you may hit your nails, causing blood stasis inside the nails, which will cause the nails to turn black. If the blood stasis can be discharged, the situation will improve. If it is still serious, you still have to go to the hospital to solve it.

1. Just protect yourself and don't get hurt again. The bruise will heal as the nail grows. Don't worry. Toenails grow slowly. If the entire toenail is bruised and the situation is serious, you should go to the hospital to see a doctor. The doctor's opinion can make you feel more at ease. Generally speaking, toenail bruises will heal on their own after a period of time. Some toenails will fall off and new toenails will grow slowly from the root of the toenail and replace the injured toenail. This process takes a relatively long time.

2. I'll also tell you a little tip. Next time you sprain or bruise yourself during exercise (without skin damage), apply ice to the injured area in time. This can reduce subcutaneous bleeding, relieve pain and swelling, and the blood stasis will not be so serious. The next day, apply topical medications that promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and relieve inflammation and pain. Of course, the most important thing is to pay more attention during exercise and not to get hurt.

3. There is no need to pull it out. If it is just internal bleeding, just go to the hospital and have a hole pierced in the nail bed to drain the blood clot! ! But it’s better to do it early, otherwise the blood will clot and cannot be discharged. If the nail bed is necrotic! ! Let’s talk about it later! ! Then try to turn the entire nail outside. If it is loose, it is necrotic. Soak it in warm water and then slowly cut it off little by little with nail clippers. It is recommended not to remove it too early. It is okay to remove it after a month or so.
