ok so i was playing basketball and the ball hit my pinky nail and it bent right where the white line topped but a little bit further (not backwards but forwards) and the nail didnt get chipped or anything but i ran it under cold water and then i got ice and wrapped it in a paper towel and put that in a bag and put it on then it felt better but now its hurting again and there is a reddish blueish black little mark right where i bent my nail and my nail feels weak and it hurts when i push on it. what should i do should i just leave it alone or not? sorry it was so longI bent my pinky finger nail and now its hurting and theres a reddish blueish black mark on it ?
you probably bruised your nail bed and there is now pressure on the nail and the nail bed which is why it hurts to touch it. What you can do is have a friend or parent (I don't know how old you are) help you by using a needle and a candle to burn through the nail to relieve the pressure. Heat up the needle and press it to the nail until it burns through. This will smell bad and will probably bleed. be sure not to burn your nail bed though. Your nail will also probably fall off after a few weeks so don't be alarmed.
My sister had a bruised nail bed and this is what worked for her and was prescribed by a family friend who is a veterinarian.
