A member asked:

I had a toe nail injury where the nail is partly off...i noticed the skin under the nail has changed colors and it itches.is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nail Trauma: After an injury to the nail and nail bed, a portal of entry may occur. Bacteria, fungus, yeast may enter. You may be developing an infection on the nail bed. Have a podiatrist or dermatologist culture the nail bed to determine what orgainism may be present, and treat appropriately.
