t remember injuring it in any way, although there is a small dark purple spot just beneath the very tip of the fingernail. It is very sensitive to pressure and when I hit it head-on against something, even lightly, it hurts enough to cause me to shout. It is only the fingertip, not the joint. While it is very sensitive to pain, the fingertip feels slightly numb. It is only that one fingertip.
Like I said, I don't remember injuring it and it hasn't been improving.
How are you?A subungual hematoma is a collection of blood underneath a fingernail which sometimes results from a traumatic injury. A laceration of the nail bed causes bleeding, hence, the black discoloration. Usually, the new nail pushes the old nail out. Subungual hematomas typically heal without incident. It is important to keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection. Take care and keep us posted.
