Nail injury: should I just pull it out?!


Question: Nail injury: should I just pull it out!?
I injured it a few weeks back (smashed a heavy door against it); and currently, the nail is only hanging on by its root!. Everything else is detached!. Meaning I basically lift it and see my nail bed completely!.

I'm thinking; should I just pull it out!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Yes, as long as not too much is still atattched!. Happened to me too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I did a similar thing to my big toe, I ended up having to go to the doctor because it wouldn't heal, and they pulled it out but they told me never to do it on my own because the roots can go far sometimes and cause bad bleeding, it is also really easy to infect a missing nail, and if it is not taken out properly it can grow in very badly later on, which will be painful!. Go talk to your physician or a podiatrist!. They can give you better advice!.!.!. I'm sorry that happened to you, that really sucksWww@Answer-Health@Com
