How do you care for a finger after the nail falls off?!


Question: How do you care for a finger after the nail falls off!?
my son got his finger slammed in a dorr about 2 weeks ago!.
I noticed the nail was turning white and lifting so I just kept it clean !.
however after my sons bath tonight I noticed it's barely hanging on!.!.!.!.it's gonna fall off now, just a matter of time ( at the rate my son is picking at it, I'd say an hour tops lol )

is any special care required once it falls off!?
I'm assuming just some neosporin and continue to keep it clean!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I believe you're doing a job now cleaning it and making sure it doesn't get infected!. His nail will eventually fall off, but it'll grown back!. I would recommend just keeping it bandaged up and clean- no special care necessary!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You have to stop him from picking at it so put neosporin on it and a bandaid!.!.!.it will fall off on it's own and then keeping it clean will be your only issue!.!.!.!.he has to stop picking because he can cause a serious infection!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
