What to do if a toenail is kicked off

Life is really full of surprises. Of course, these so-called surprises are both good and bad. For example, in this hot summer season, people generally change into sandals or slippers. Although this is very cool, it is relatively dangerous. You must know that the toes are exposed outside. As long as you walk carelessly, it is easy to get injured, and the toenails will be the first to be injured. Let's tell you what to do if the toenail is kicked off?

1. Generally, toenails grow together with the nail bed. If they are injured or traumatized, the nails may be torn and damaged easily. If the nail bed under the toenails is not seriously damaged, new nails can grow. After a toenail is injured, it is generally not necessary to pull it out, because as long as the nail bed is not damaged, it will grow a new one on its own, and the injured one will fall off on its own. All you need to do is prevent infection. Suggestions: This mainly depends on whether the nail bed under the toenail is intact and whether it is damaged. If complete, it will grow out similar to normal.

2. In the current situation, there is a lot of local exudation after the toenail was kicked and lifted. Pay attention to disinfection and try to stay as little as possible in the near future. This can reduce local exudation and promote recovery. As long as the nail bed is not damaged, new nails will still grow. The main thing is to pay attention to local infection. The weather is hot now, so try to stay in a cooler environment! It is best to use hydrogen peroxide for cleaning and treatment every day, and appropriate local application of sulfa powder is more effective. It is recommended to actively take vitamin C, metronidazole, and azithromycin dispersible tablets for treatment. During the period, pay attention to drinking more water, eating a light diet, and keeping the local area clean and hygienic. Generally, it will not recover to its original state within one month. I hope this can help you.

3. It depends on the injury and personal recovery. It takes about 1 week for numbness and pain to disappear. After changing the dressing 4-5 times every other day, the gauze can be removed. Removing the entire little finger nail will not affect your physical exercise. It takes 3-4 months for nails to grow completely. The main components of nails and hair are protein. If you eat more protein-rich foods (such as one egg a day), your nails will grow faster.
