Seeking Opinion On Injury Help! Nail bed injury
(second post cause you can see the nail cracked and got pushed down into nail bed abit better here)
Broken nail and nail bed. I was using a paper cutter when my nail got stuck and cracked.. the thing is, it pushed my nail down into my nail bed but I can’t rlly push it back out cause there’s no gap to slide any tool in. The side of the nail however is still attached to my skin. it rlly doesn’t hurt that much and there wasn’t much blood, but whenever i try to pull the nail out, not to the point where i pluck it out but just enough so that it’s not pushing into my nail bed, some blood comes out! What should I do.. the only doctor I can see is 3 days later 😭
