Question: I slipped and cut the bottom of my fingernail!.?
There is a hole on the bottom of my fingernail now. It is about halfway across and I cannot see any nail on the bottom touching my skin. What to do and will that hole in my nail grow.? It is kinda swelling through the other parts of my finger nail and I don't know what to do!Health Question & Answer
Answers:
It just has to grow out.
If there is anything in the hole, it might be worth washing it with tea tree oil, eucaliptys oil, antibacterial wash of some sort.
Keeping a bandaid on it during the day will help keep gross things out, but let it air at night so as not to make it too soggy.
Hopefully as it grows, the skin underneath will grow back some. While your nails are 'technically' dead growing out, the nail bed underneath isnt, and it should heal up.Health Question & Answer
