Nail pushed into finger...?

I recently knocked my pinky finger into a desk. I didn't think much of it when it happened, but the day after I noticed the nail was slightly pushed back into the finger and there's a little bump at the end, right before the cuticle... And the nail hasn't been growing at all. It's been like this for a few days, and only hurts if I knock it against something hard. Is there any danger in this and will the nail eventually grow back out normally? Is there anything I can do to help it?

your nail will probably go black and then fall off if the nail bed has been damaged. Just wrap it up and keep it protected so you dont cause anymore harm.


Make sure you dont have any open skin tho otherwise it might become infected.
Maybe it's ingrown...? If it is, (from http://www.mothernature.com/Library/Book鈥?/a>





';Get a wisp of relief. Your mission is to help that embedded toenail grow out over the skin folds at its side. Start by soaking your foot in warm water to soften the nail, says California practitioner Frederick Hass, M.D., author of The Foot Book and a staff member of Marin General Hospital in Greenbrae. Dry carefully, then gently insert a wisp (not a wad) of sterile cotton beneath the burrowing edge of the nail. The cotton will slightly lift the nail so it can grow past the tissue it is digging into. Apply an antiseptic as a safeguard against infection. Change the cotton insert daily until the nail has grown past the trouble spot.';





Same would apply to your hand.
