Dr. Wenjay Sung answered

Specializes in Podiatry

Nail avulsion: You probably developed a subungal (below the nail) hematoma (blood blister). It raises teh nail off it's bed and will naturally fall off, however if painful, make an appointment with a dermatologist or podiatrist to have it trimmed off quickly so it can return to growing normally. Good luck.

Ingrown toe nail was traumatically removed by a nail technician which lead to infection and blot blister underneath the nail - the nail covering the blister died out a few weeks later and was cut. Now theres a dried blood blister, will that go away?
