I was grabbing something and the nail broke horizontally, causing me a lot of pain since it would bend at the crack, etc.
I was due for a new acrylic fill anyway & usually when they apply a new layer of bond it strengthens the entire nail and the pain subsides.
This time however, it felt better for a day, but now I'm in extreme pain. I checked the nail and it appears that the skin was possibly stuck to the side with glue, etc. Usually you just pull the skin away and it goes away.
I keep pulling the skin away, but it's not helping. The area is swollen and thin white pus is coming out, and now the area's turning red, etc. and the pain is so excrutiating I can't use the finger at all now.
I've been applying bactine several times a day and antibiotic last night.
Can anyone else recommend a course of action to heal it.
i.e., do I soak it? Do I put steriodal cream on it?
I don't want for it to get worse.
Anyone have any suggestions?
