I poked myself in the eye with my nail, it's bleeding?!


Question: I poked myself in the eye with my nail, it's bleeding?
It doesn't hurt. I didn't even notice until I looked in the mirror. There are two teeny red dots in the white part of my eye. Do I need to go to the doctor, or will it heal on it's own? It's only bleeding a little bit.

give it 24 hours. If it doesn't heal in that time , or starts getting worse or your vision is affected then go to the doctor straight away. Eyes normally heal quite fast and if its not hurting then you are likely to be o.k unless you get an infection. Be a bit careful with your eye whilst it heals - I don't know if you are male or female but if the latter i'd avoid eye makeup till its healed up.



don't go flipping out or anything but you could lose your vision because bacteria could start to grow in your eye. its a small chance but still. Don't go running into the ER or anything but i think you should definitely go talk to a doctor or your eye doctor soon.



That has happened to me before. If it doesn't hurt and you can still see perfectly, I wouldn't worry about it because it will probably heal on its own.



:O YOU'RE GOING TO LOSS YOUR EYE! RUN LASSY RUN! Or was it Forrest?

I lost an eye before. :O Now I have a glass eye. :D
