Smashed fingernail, partially off. Will it stay on?!
Question: Smashed fingernail, partially off.. Will it stay on.?
I smashed my finger between 2 dumbells this morning.. When I looked at it my fingernail was uprooted at an angle.. About halfway.. I put pressure by applying a bandaid.. I kept neosporin and a bandaid since.. Now 10 hrs later there's swelling and no blood.. The nail seems to have reattached itself.. Will it stay on.? Any suggestions for care.?Health Question & Answer

Last year I had a similar accident, and someone recommended I go to the hospital to check it out because they said it was also possible that the tip of my finger was broken, .. I would recommend just going and having someone look at it just to be safe.. As they say, better safe than sorry!Health Question & Answer

It can vary.. It may just stay on if there has been no serious damage to the connection but it may just drop off by itself if it has..
