On finger nails a punch like impression is noticed. What is the cause and remedy?

Answer 1

As the nail groves and it moves with it then fine, it should be gone.

If it is black in colour it may be blood blister under the nail, will not go away but if it does not grow, it is OK, next time you see a doctor show him, but if is starts to change shape or get bigger and or hurts run to the emergency room of any hospital.

If not see a Doctor, soon.

Answer 2

your finger nails protect the fingertips from injury because they are finely nerve abundant areas that are composed of keratin protein and sulfur.the nail bed is the sking underneath the nail and the area in which the nail grows on top.

nail disorders or changes or abnormalities are typically the result of nutritional deficiencies or specific conditions and often reveal disorders in other areas of the body.changes in your fingernail often indicate illness in the body before the rest of the body will.
