Please go %26amp; consult a doctor. Get it removed otherwise it will be painful %26amp; you can't do your work properly, also there are chances of infection [septic]. Go %26amp; get it removed %26amp; have a TT injection so that you can be peaceful %26amp; need not worry about it.My middle finger nail ripped off. do i let the chunks of nail come off itself or do i go c a doctor?
All they will do if you go to the Dr. is clean your finger, numb it with shots and possibly scrape the rest of your nail off like it's a little sardine can (aahhh! Just thinking about it freaks me out...I've had this done before if you can't tell!).
Regardless of how the nail comes off, it will always start to regrow from the matrix (the little white half moon thing at the base of your nail) and that new nail will push away anything on your nail bed that isn't supposed to be there. Other than by moisture, your nail isn't attached to your finger except at the matrix, so eventually, when your nail bed dries a little bit more, those 'chunks' will come off easily b/c there is nothing to hold it there.
While it's ugly, give your finger lots of air (moisture=bacteria), you could even soak it in an epson salt/water to help keep it bacteria free and dry, and then just wait
It will take a few months, but if you leave it alone, you'll probably never even notice a difference when comparing your new nail to the old..
it'll grow out. u can kinda trim if u notice it getting caught on clothes. but if ur afraid of it getting infecting, go to the docs.
Keep a bandaid over that nail till it starts to grow back.
Either trim it or file it smooth so it won't hurt.
