Finger Nail Wound?

0 ⤊

Should i worry to much about a small dark spot under my finger nail ? I doesn't hurt at all when touched, but over the past three days, it now turned into a blackish-purplish color. It looks like a bacterial infection. I should be fine as long as i clean it with an antiseptic such as ointment, right ?

if you think its infected please go to your doctor.. you don't want to end up with blood poisoning..
But if you had a blow to your finger then perhaps you are losing the nail.. a new nail will begin to grow once the old has fallen off.. just keep the area clean as possible to prevent infection.

It sounds like a bruise.
