Bruising is normal: This is from the pressure of the boot on the nail itself. Try and walk barefoot as much as possible at home. Bruising of toenails can take several weeks to heal as the nail continues to grow. There is nothing to worry about unless the pain is unbearable. Then you will need to see a podiatrist-foot doctor to see if the blood under the nail needs to be drained.
