A member asked:
Is it possible if you push down on the skin under your nail can you make it bleed i used my nail and pushed on the skin now it looks like blood under ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes, that is possible. You likely have a hematoma underneath the nail now. No worries as it will absorb with time and go away.
