A member asked:
I have bruised fingernail - has been there for about 2 months?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can take awhile: Subungal hematomas are collections of blood underneath the fingernail plate, usually from a trauma. They may persist for a very long time and resolve slowly at the rate of the growth of the nail plate. Several months is not unheard of.
