about 2 weeks ago I stubbed my toe and it bled and turned a yellowish color. It hurt really bad I cried, lol anyway i think it seperated the nail from the nail bed but not bad. It looks pretty much normal now the only thing is it itches!! It itches under the nail where i cant scratch!! What should I do? ThanksMy nail got seperated from the nail bed what should I do?
Well as long as the nail didn't completely fall off, you probably bruised it right underneath the nail itself. Itching is good! It's a sign of healing. You can try rubbing the toe on top to help with the itching feeling, but mostly you're probably going to have to suck it up.My nail got seperated from the nail bed what should I do?
put ice on it to make so it does not itch so much, wrap a peice of medical tape around the toe so that it holds the nail in place- that will decrease the irritation of the nail moving and decrease the itching. Just make sure that the tape isn't wrapped so tight it cuts off the circulation. check to make sure that the toes have circulation, by pinching the toe and making sure that it goes from pale to normal colored, if its blue or purple its too tight, so loosen it up.
first......ouch and eewww!
second:keep the nail on as long as you can with tape/band aids.
third: after a few days the nail will come off by itself. keep it clean and covered. the nail bed will begin to harden into a nail but it will be several weeks before it looks normal again.
...........good luck with that
Nothing you can do, you may lose that nail but another will grow back.
