Around the nail area, it is a bit green and the top right is really swollen, it goes off to the side. What is this? Someone told me it is the nail that got caught on the side or something. What is it? |

If my finger looked like the picture Kenny posted, I'd be soaking it in warm water and Epsom salts for about 15 minutes several times a day. But that's just me. You might want to go see an MD. Jodi

It's an infection from writing too many checks. Stop doing that, and go see a doctor. |

I get this once in a while but on the side of the nail, not near the base. It has always cleared up without seeing a doctor. Here's how it goes for me. Day 1, start to feel mild pain. Day 3 or so, pain peaks and there is a small amount of local swelling and redness of surround tissue - much less than in this pic. Day 4 or 5, green or yellow pus is visible under skin. - I may or may not drain it using sterilized needle. Then I keep it very clean and dry and protected by fresh band aid for 2 or 3 days. I'm not saying to not see a Dr. and I don't know if yours is same as mine. I probably get them because I wash my hands often and do not like putting on lotion so I guess the skin around my nails is more dry than usual. |

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

I get them too like Kenny does, but nowhere near as bad as that pic. Maybe twice a year. I may drain them, but when I do I soak it in peroxide to kill the bacteria. |

Sorry. It's probably just a hangnail. The manicular equivalent of manflu.Seriously though, if it's green it's probably not very healthy. |

I think I get something like that now and again, and I just peel the green part off. Sounds gross, and I guess it kind of hurts, but there's something of an entertainment factor when I finally succeed in getting it off. I'm somewhat used to picking at my nails anyway, though; my mom did it when she was a kid, so I guess it's her fault I do it, too! :rolleyes: |

Random FML: Today, I was fired by my boss in front of my coworkers. It would have been nice if I could have left the building before they started celebrating. FML The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D | |

I've had to do that a couple of times to messed up toenails. Just took a pair of pliers and ripped that sumbitch right out. Definitely a "getting to know yourself" kind of a moment. :lol: |

That's disgusting, thanks Aqua! I'll take this moment to state that I have beautiful toes and have never pliered them. |

Year-round soccer playin's + skiing = big trouble for knees and toenails. If the nail gets warped or split, well... you're better off in the long run if you just scrap what's left.

Euuuw... Actually once I stubbed my little toe so badly that after a while the entire toenail came off.. There was a tiny soft new one underneath - luckily, because I was expecting a gaping flesh hole. Gross. |

A similar thing happened to me; I had a yeast infection on one of my big toes when I was a senior in high school. My entire toenail turned dark green for a few months, and then I woke up one morning and the entire nail was just hanging there by a thread. So I pulled it off (didn't hurt, because it was 99% hanging off already), and a soft new nail was there underneath. |
