Help! I messed up my nail!

Thank God you guys went through my post and transcribed everything so neatly. Honestly, you’re probably gonna regret skipping over my little tip about how damn effective Heparin actually is, but hey, whatever... let it be.😎

Kiki said:Yesterday, I slammed my finger in a car door and the pain was just absolutely overwhelming.
My finger was bleeding, the skin underneath the nail came away, and there's this dark bruise forming on the bottom left corner of the nail. I think it might be some blood trapped under the nail bed.
What should I do sad? It still hurts like crazy, even though so many hours have passed since it happened.
Is my nail going to fall off? Should I head to the doctor or will it just heal on its own?
When I got home, I ran it under cold water, applied some ice, took 2 Advil, and put a Band-Aid on it.
Is that enough?
When is the pain going to stop?
How can I tell if the nail is actually going to come off?
I really hope it stays put.
Waaaah! 😢 😢 😢

Can you post a picture?

The shape was just weird, though it didn't even hurt that much at first, so I kept wearing them without a second thought.

But then, before I knew it, my nails started turning blue... 😲

And they actually started peeling off. Luckily, the weather cooled down right when it happened, so I didn't have to go around showing off my toes in sandals.

The left one fell off completely, and there was already about a third of a new nail growing underneath. That part actually scares me a little because the growth looks kind of funky, but I’m just hoping everything turns out fine.

As for the right one, it just kept growing forward (meaning a new one wasn't growing under the old one, it just continued normally), so I just trimmed away the damaged part (which was bulging).

They've mostly grown back now, but if anything seems to get complicated, I'm heading straight to the doctor.

And those sneakers? Straight into the trash. 😠

I am officially announcing that during practice two months ago, my nail got its fair share of punishment again 😁
The left one. And man, it hurt like hell. 🙂

I was using heparin to mazati it, which probably stopped things from getting way worse since I had this nasty hematoma full of fluid (basically a giant blister) under the entire surface of the nail.
It actually leaked out after a walk through town. I couldn't wear any shoes properly for a while. 🙄

After that, things calmed down, and I honestly thought it wouldn't fall off, but nope—just a few minutes ago, it finally happened. The new one is growing 😍, but it's only about a third of the way there 😢

Now, I can't remember how long it took last time, but I really hope by month six my foot looks somewhat normal 😬

This is already my fourth lost nail, and I'm only 23. 🙂 🤣

Ugh, and yeah, to top it all off, my new nail has already started digging into the side of my toe—honestly, I never had these issues with my old ones. So, if anyone out there actually knows what they're doing, please help me out... how am I supposed to file or trim this thing while it’s growing back without making the whole situation worse? 🙂
