Is Tingling Sensation At The Thumb’s Tip After An Injury A Concern?

I injured my thumb a couple of weeks ago by crushing it. The nail bed blead a lot and it has stopped many days ago. My thumb is black and blue now. My question, the end of my thumb tingles a bit but I can still feel everything with it. Is this a cause for concern? Secondly, will I probably loose the nail? I assume it will grow back at some point.

Hello,
Yes, you may lose the nail. It depends upon how bad the bleeding under the nail was. The tingling should resolve. You probably damaged a nerve but it should heal up without treatment as the bruising and swelling resolves
