Smashed fingernail, partially off. Will it stay on?!


Question: Smashed fingernail, partially off!. Will it stay on!?
I smashed my finger between 2 dumbells this morning!. When I looked at it my fingernail was uprooted at an angle!. About halfway!. I put pressure by applying a bandaid!. I kept neosporin and a bandaid since!. Now 10 hrs later there's swelling and no blood!. The nail seems to have reattached itself!. Will it stay on!? Any suggestions for care!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Last year I had a similar accident, and someone recommended I go to the hospital to check it out because they said it was also possible that the tip of my finger was broken, !. I would recommend just going and having someone look at it just to be safe!. As they say, better safe than sorry!Www@Answer-Health@Com

if i were u i would just pull the nail of and wrap a bandaid over it untill ur nail grows bak i had the same thing happen with my toe taks a while to grow bak but it will be good when it doesWww@Answer-Health@Com

It can vary!. It may just stay on if there has been no serious damage to the connection but it may just drop off by itself if it has!.

I wouldn't worry to much about it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it might be a hairline fracture, get X-Ray done ASAP,and seek medical help!. dont worry about nail it may go and new nail will come !.Www@Answer-Health@Com
