Suggest Treatment For Nail Coming Out Due To Blisters Around The Nail
I have had small little blisters around the outer part of my finger nail after a blister showed up under my finger nail. Then the blister under my nail reached the edge of the nail and nail came off the nail bed. I now only have the small part of the nail at the edge of the cuticle. What do I do for it and should I see my doctor?

Hi.
As per your case history of nail disease, my treatment advice is -
1. Don't squeeze the lesions as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice daily on it.
3. Take a NSAID like ibuprofen for pain.
4. Other treatment options are nail avulsion, cauterization or laser ablation done by a dermato-surgeon.
Thanks.
