Answers:
Sounds like you got a blister underneath your toenail that has popped so it leaks clear fluid. Once that happens, it usually causes the nail to lift off and then if you keep playing on it, then you'll get another blister or the nail irritates the skin underneath causing it to drain. Best way to take care of it is to make sure you are wearing the appropriate sized shoe so this doesn't happen again. Also make sure that the nail is not ingrown into skin because that can cause "seeping" too. Also keep the nail covered with some Neosporin and a band-aid. If it continues to seep after all this, please go see your nearest podiatrist. Hope this helps!
