Hi, 3 days ago I banged my thumb on a wall and my acrylic has lifted my natural nail. It bled a little and I strapped it up although its still very tender and has a strong pulse. The nail almost seems like its secured back into place too and wont lift up fully without force. Im scared that if i visit my doctor or walkin centre they will have to remove the full nail, which sounds very painfull!
SOMEONE PLS HELP!!!
try holding the nail in place and cutting/clipping it as short as possible. Wash gently every day,dry and then bind up to stop the nail moving. If the nail is going to detach it will gradually grow out and fall off , but looking at your picture it looks as though it has detached a little bit and will grow out.The daily binding will help to stop the nail getting caught and ripping away from the nail bed, which is very painful.
Thats what ive been doing, just worried about infection I guess! Thankyou for replyingā¯¤
