Suggest Treatment For Dark Colored Toe Post Injury
Hi, I recently my stubbed my big toe on concrete and the toenail has turned a dark color almost bluish purplish. I ve read the the toenail will eventually come off on its own but this toenail has acrylic on it from when I cracked it previously from hitting it. Can I soak the toenail in Acetone to remove the acrylic and let the nail run its course or will the Acetone cause more damage? If possible, please assist. Thank you!
Hello. No problem with the acetone. The subungual hematoma you have will resolve in time. But if it's still bothering you a doctor can make a small how in the nail to get the blood out
