A member asked:
I was walking with tight shoes on and gained a bruise under my toenail that went from purple to half red. how do i get it to heal faster and should i go see a doctor?

It sounds as if this has occurred a few days ago. You had bleeding under the nail. You can try warm water soaks but you might just have to wait until it grows out. It takes a toenail 6 months to grow completely out

You have to wait unfortunately for the nail to grow. Biotin 10mg may help with nail growth.
