How to treat a purple nail

Maria

Please someone help me, I suffered a severe blow 9 months ago on the toenail of my toe. It started with a purple appearance, then the nail was peeling off and 9 months have passed and it is getting worse, with a yellow color.
Please someone help me with some kind of treatment.

My nail has already come out but the lunula area is still black and I am afraid that it is something merely strong, I would like you to help me. Thanks .

Hello good Morning.
I tell you that I used a new shoe and this one that was somewhat tired the next day I removed the nail polish, this is something purple, it is painful how I should treat this problem, what people tell me is that it will fall = (, I really appreciate your opinion, thank you and happy day.

Hello Caroline,

It is best that you do not paint the damaged nail any more until it recovers and that you try to wear open shoes or that the part of the fingers does not squeeze. Follow the care that we mention in the article and if you see that it worsens, see the doctor. Depending on how deep your purple is, the nail may fall out and one may grow again, or it may not fall off.

days ago I crushed my nail on the car door. and I drained the blood but my nail is a little purple. it doesn’t hurt but it feels numb.
what should I do? what is this numbness due to?

Irene Juste (Editor of aCOMO)

Hi Anny,

The numbness is normal, it is due to the blow and the bruise. It will go away in a few days, although it is likely that if you touch or press the area a little, you will continue to notice some discomfort and numbness. They are wounds that heal very slowly, so you have to be patient. Anyway, if you have an open wound and blood came out, the first thing you should do is clean yourself well with rubbing alcohol to disinfect and apply some iodine. You can even apply a little antibiotic ointment to the raised or injured piece of skin to avoid infection. Also, if you see that it hurts or worsens, do not hesitate to go to the doctor.

Hi, about four or five months ago I had a small purple discoloration on my big toenail. It didn’t hurt and I thought it was my socks and sweat that had caused that color; I never thought it was a bruise or something like that because it didn’t hurt, but I also thought it was because of my running shoes. So far that purple discoloration is still there, what do I do if it doesn’t even hurt?

Irene Juste (Editor of aCOMO)

Hi Antoinette,

Even if it doesn’t hurt, it could be a bruise, which is easy for you to do with your running shoes. Make sure they are right for you or find better ones. Also think that nails like this are usually slow to heal, but you can follow the advice in this article.
Also, if you see that it does not improve in several weeks or a few months or that it worsens, go to the doctor.

Hello, I have a question about the healing process in a case like this. What happens is that a few weeks ago I hit one of my toes and a small clot of blood appeared under the nail. The truth is that I did not even care because the pain was very mild and the bruise is very small. After this I would like to know if over time the small blood stain that is under the nail will disappear or if I should do something to remove it. I guess my body will do something to make it disappear, I just want to know more or less what the process is for that to happen and how long it lasts. Thanks in advance.

Irene Juste (Editor of aCOMO)

Hello Jorge,

As several days have passed, it is no longer advisable to try to drain the blood. Indeed, your body will gradually reabsorb the bruise so you can rest easy. As long as it does not hurt, do not worry, if it does, go to a doctor as he or she will be able to review you and prescribe the best for your case.
The resorption process depends on the size of the hematoma, the area and the body of each one, but it can take from a few days to several weeks.
You can make yourself rubs or massages with pharmacy alcohol to make sure that the skin in this area is disinfected and thus you can stimulate blood flow, helping it to be reabsorbed as soon as possible.

thanks for your help my problem is that I hit the nail of the right index finger there was a lot of pain not purple if red after two months a whitish shadow and shadow as giving rise to the increase of the white and detached of the meat that I do and it hurts a little

Irene Juste (Editor of aCOMO)

Hi Martha,

You can carefully trim the part of the nail that is raised and apply cold when it hurts enough. If you see that it does not improve, the most advisable thing is that you go to your doctor.

Wash it well with hot water and dry it with a clean towel, then put on a little fresh aloe vera for 10 days, always wear clean socks and shoes, it’s very good, I did it with my daughter and it worked for me.
