Toenail Trauma

Toenail trauma refers to any injury or damage to the toenail, typically caused by external forces such as accidents, trauma, or repetitive pressure. It can result in various conditions, including fractures, bruising, bleeding, cracks, or detachment of the toenail from the nail bed. Toenail trauma may lead to pain, discomfort, swelling, changes in nail appearance, and possible complications such as infection. Proper care, including ensuring cleanliness, applying ice or a bandage for swelling, and seeking medical attention if needed, can help in the management of toenail trauma.
