Question: bloody purple black loose finger nail!


Answers: bloody purple black loose finger nail!

Well, the fingernail is going to come off; you might be better off to see a doctor and have it removed, just to speed things up. If you decide not to do this, you can buy (drug store) a plastic or metal finger protector; bandage the finger using this so it doesn't get bumped any. Try to sleep with it open or more exposed so it gets some fresh air. I'm really sorry this happened...it must really hurt.

purple anything is never a good sign, so i would say get it profesional care as fast as possible

Dont stick it in the sliding door again,, Durrr!!

stay away from the door.why are you sliding glass door anyway?

You are definitely going to lose the fingernail. Once that happens, you are going to have to take very, very good care of the tender, exposed nail-bed until the new one grows back. Do you think you broke any bones?
You might try soaking it in a very mild solution of Epsom salts and warm water to reduce pain and inflammation over the first 24 hours or so. But then go see a doctor if you think there's a chance any bones were cracked. And ouch! I feel bad for you because a smashed finger really hurts.
