Drain the blood: 1. Wipe the toe with alcohol. 2. Heat the end of a paper clip with a match until hot. 3. Gently place the hot end on the top of the toe near where the blood is, and hold it there until it melts into the nail. It won't hurt and don't push. 4. Gently push the blood out with your hand. 5. The blood will spurt out and take the pressure of the nail and your pain will be gone.

See a podiatrist: The pressure from the bleeding has to be relieved. The best way is to have a hole placed thru the nail. See a podiatrist.

Yes: I assume the blood is under the nail. If the injury is more than 48 hours old its hard to drain. I suggest you soak in domeboro solution. You can purchase it otc.
