Bloody Toe?!
Question: Hey Everyone,
I stubbed my small toe a few weeks ago, and now under the nail is black.. and i'm assuming its blood.
The nail doesn't look like its going to come off at all, so how am I suppost to get it cleaned out?

The blood will be reabsorbed. It is not directly under the nail as this would trickle out but is likely a bruise under the skin of the nailbed. It will go away like any other bruise with time.
However watch out because these can become infected on occasion. You may experience increased pain, redness, swelling or discharge. If this happens see your GP.
I think you'll just have to wait til it grows out.
