What do you do for an exposed nail bed?

So when I was 6 or 7, my older brother ripped off my nail. It never grew back right. I'm sure it got a fungal infection and it was that way for a long time. My aunt said to put tea tree oil on it and I tried that. It softened the nail to the point that it came off. I want it to heal right this time. What should I do?What do you do for an exposed nail bed?
Sometimes nails grow back as good as new, and sometimes the nail bed gets damaged and they grow back oddly formed or not at all. There isn't a lot you can do but keep your toe protected, clean and dry. But if you still have a fungal infection see a dermatologist for advice.

    you can just wiggle it with your finger or a pair or plires. it dosen hurt i had my toenail come off 3 times. if it dose come off put a bandaid on and keep the nail bed clean. how did it almost come off?

    My dogs paws are bleeding around the nail bed?

    Does anyone know why this is? Could it have something to do with the snow/icy weather?My dogs paws are bleeding around the nail bed?
    clean the paws, then take it to the vet.My dogs paws are bleeding around the nail bed?
    yes, the reason why they're bleeding is because of the cold weather. Just like humans, they're skin cracks too, and a result causes bleeding. I would invest in dog mittens, they're not that expensive and work very well. You might also have to clip his/hers nails, if they're very long or curving in. This isn't something big enough to worry about, but after you get him/her dogs mittens and clip him/hers nails, and the bleeding still persists, then you might want to ask a vet. Good Luck!
    yeah, it probably has to do with the ice or snow





    your dog probably got cut from the ice or the snow while walking on it. it would be best to not allow him/her to walk on the ice/snow for a while. You should probably take your dog to the vet just in case it's more serious than some cuts
    whenever u clip dog nail it bleed no matter if a pro did it ans there is this liquid that will help it heal fast but i don't know wat it is call and if it get serious go to teh vet and ask what is wrong and good luck
    It could have hurt it, or cut it, you won't know until you clean it, the dog might need stitches . Injured feet are very painful this might require a vet visit.





    add: if there are 3 paws involved it is most likely the salt that they use. Wash his feet throughly every time he goes out.
    It might be because of that. To be on the safe side you should take you dog to the pet to make sure its not or it wont get infected.
    Dogs are tuffer than you think. It will heal pretty quick.
    you should clean his paws, maybe they got infected and the cold weather could be hurting his paws
    SALT drys out the pads and they crack! after each walk, soak his paws in warm water, it will get better!

    My baby nail is half detached from its nail bed what do you suppose I do?

    Blood was collecting under it but i drained it away. Should I pull it out with something if so what, or would you have another solution?My baby nail is half detached from its nail bed what do you suppose I do?
    dn't pull it out wrap a bandaide around it and keep it clean by changing it daily. the nail will either reattach or naturally fall off.
