Suggest Treatment For Torn Toenail Causing Pain
I had my toenail torn mostly from my toe bed. It was standing completely straight up, and really hurting. I washed it out with Hibiclens, and applied a tripleantibotic cream and pressed it down almost in place; boy did that hurt! QUESTION: Should I try to find a podiatrists or go to my PC? It is past closing time, and this happened Sat. late night and today I ve been putting out a lot of fires! What to do???

Hi,
It seems that your toe nail bed is strongly injured due to whole nail came out.
Try to press it back to its normal position and apply antibiotic cream and go for tight bandage.
Go for one course of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicine for 3-5 days.
Do dressing daily.
Ok and take care.
