Big toenail?

I stubbed my big toe and bent my toenail all the way back. It died and fell off. A small section around the cuticle turned green. What should I do?

Green means is a type of bacterial infection usually call pseudomonas, I recommend that you get to a podiatrist office for a consultation.
Anytime the nail bed encounters trauma, it will usually cause the nail to grow back weird.

Must be examined and treated by avulsion, and the nail will grow in 60 days.
You should schedule an appointment to see a podiatrist as soon as possible.
Get it treated.
See a podiatrist in case there is an infection involved.


Hello,


You may have a pseudomonal infection to the nail bed. Let the nail bed dry out if it has not already. If you still have problems then seek medical attention.
