How Can A Dead Finger Nail Be Removed?
I had an abscess infection in my thumb. Now my fingernail has started to come off, but only the right side because it is the dead side. The left side is completely alive. I would like to ask what I should do if only the right side of my fingernail is dead and ready to fall off.
