According to the information from the "ابوني.دي" portal, a nail injury is one of the common health issues. This may occur, for example, due to a strong impact on the nail with a hammer. According to the official portal of German pharmacies, as a result of such an impact on the nail, blisters may form, and the doctor may remove the accumulated blood by making a small opening in the nail plate using a sharp scalpel. It should be noted that such a procedure may only be performed at the very beginning after the injury has occurred.
A nail injury may be a signal of danger if there is bleeding or discoloration from brown to black due to external causes, and the injury does not heal on its own. This may indicate the development of melanoma (black skin cancer), which can develop not only on the skin but also under the nails. Therefore, one should always monitor such injuries with a dermatologist, especially if they are accompanied by other symptoms, such as persistent pain and unexplained weight loss.
