What to do if nails turn black after being injured

Many people think that nails are the strongest part of the body, but in fact, if the nails are injured, it will have a great impact on the hands. The soft flesh under the nails is very fragile. Once the nails are injured, the hands are likely to be infected or even inflamed. Many people report that their nails turn black after being injured, but they don’t know what causes it and they dare not take any medication at will. So, what should you do if your nails turn black after being injured?

1. It may be onychomycosis. If you don’t want to go to the hospital, you can use it yourself. Zhengxiantang Onychomycosis Clear is easy to use and as convenient as applying nail polish.

Apply twice a day, 3-5 times each time, evenly apply on the entire nail surface

No need to seal, wrap or trim, just apply it directly and use according to the amount. One tube can treat a small nail, and two tubes can treat a large nail.

I have summarized some prevention methods for onychomycosis as follows:

1. Do not wear non-breathable shoes;

2. Avoid damp and dark environment;

3. Don’t use low-quality nail polish;

4. Try not to scratch the soles of your feet or between your toes if they itch;

5. Try to use shower method and avoid using alkaline soap;

6. Keep the whole family’s feet clean, cool and dry;

7. Regularly disinfect the home environment and patient supplies, etc.

8. Do not use the same nail clippers to trim normal and abnormal nails;

9. Do not share basins, towels, shoes, socks, nail clippers and other items with sick family members;

10. Keep the nails at a normal length, do not cut them too short, and do not leave any thorns;

2. Subungual blood stasis is also a reason. Subungual bruises are relatively common, mostly caused by squeezing and collision. Bruise under the toenails are sometimes also related to wearing high heels, standing or walking too much. Generally, you don't need to pay attention to this, it will get better naturally after a few months.

3. Nail nevus. This type is not uncommon; it often appears as a bundle of lines from the root of the nail to the tip of the nail; it is generally harmless to the human body; it may sometimes develop into nail pigmentoma.

The nail matrix nevus should be closely observed. If it is found to be getting bigger or bleeding, it is considered to be a nail pigment tumor. The patient should go to the hospital in time to remove the nail, surgically remove the subungual tumor and perform a pathological examination. It indicates a problem with the respiratory system. In fact, it is bluish (looks black). This type of person is prone to cardiovascular disease.
