I have a black toenail after a drill accident. how can i get rid of this bruise?

Usually time: If the bruise is not too extensive it will grow out with the nail in several months. If you have a lot of pain, see a podiatrist. Sometimes a hematoma under the nail plate needs to be drained to afford pain relief and prevent secondary infection.
