A member asked:

I just kicked something and i cracked my toenail and there is a little purple spot that i can't really feel and my toe hurts a lot?

FX?: Purple is probably subungual hematoma. Hurts a lot-fracture should be ruled out by x-ray.

Subungal hematoma: We would put a hole in nail using a cautery or hot red paper clip
