A member asked:

Couch fell on my toe about 3 months back and my toe is is black,red,blue. it doesn't hurt but it bothers me time to time not had chance see doctor?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

3 months : Is too long. If the nail is involved nail bed may be damaged due to hemorrhage from the injury. Likely old nail will self avulse with a nail regrowth.
