What should I do if there is blood in my nails? 7 tips to help you solve it easily

Human hands are used for labor and work, so bumps and bruises are inevitable. When the fingers are hit violently, the capillaries in the skin under the nails will rupture and bleed, but the amount of bleeding is generally not large and will accumulate under the nails, which not only affects the appearance but is also very painful. Here are 7 tips to easily clear the blood clots in the nails!

1. Ice compress can relieve the pain. Ice compress can reduce the permeability of blood vessels, contract the blood vessels in the injured area, relieve local congestion, thereby reducing local exudation and preventing the spread of local congestion in the injured area. Therefore, you can use ice packs or cold water for ice compress within 24 hours after your finger is pinched.

2. Hot compress treatment: 24 hours after the bruise on your finger was pinched by the door, you can use a hot towel or a hot water bag to apply heat to the bruised area, which can promote local blood circulation and promote the dissipation of bruises.

3 Automatic healing and growth If the fingernails are painless and not infected, and the nail congestion is not serious, but just simple subungual congestion, you can let them grow automatically and observe for a period of time. If the congestion in the nails disappears, there is no need to worry. Trim the nails every week, eat more high-protein foods, let the nails grow quickly, and the congestion will disappear soon.

4 Cactus Removal: Remove the small thorns of the cactus and crush them, then apply them on the fingernails with bruises. Apply it several times a day and new nails will slowly grow, the damaged nails will fall off naturally, and the bruises will dissipate.

5 This method of releasing blood stasis requires the intervention of a professional and cannot be done by yourself. This method is to use a red-hot thin needle to "burn a hole" in the nail at the site of the blood clot, and the blood clot will come out and be released. However, this method is generally not used unless it is absolutely necessary.

6. Pulling out the nails. Some fingernails have severe bruises, and you can also pull out the nails to remove the bruises quickly. However, this method is not recommended. Not only do you have to endure the pain of pulling out the nails, but it may also cause a second injury to your fingers due to pulling out the nails.

7 Seek medical treatment. If your finger is pinched by the door and causes black bruises and severe pain, inflammation or other discomfort symptoms, you must seek medical examination and treatment promptly.
