Vividness of the pediatric hematoma

As a result of a blow or injury, a black spot under the nail may appear - a subnail hematoma. Besides the fact that a dark nail is an unaesthetic sight, a subnail hematoma can cause inflammation and redness of the tissues around the nail

The procedure to remove an underfoot hematoma includes:

• disinfection of the foot;
• release of blood from under the nail through a small hole, which is made with a cutter;
• washing of the formed cavity with disinfectant and anti-inflammatory agent “Octanisept”;
• application of capolin with propolis and fixing it on the nail plate with a bandage.

After five days it is recommended to come for a second examination to get further recommendations from the doctor on the care of the nail plate after removal of the subnail hematoma.

Removal of subnail hematoma lasts: 20 minutes.

The procedure does not require special preparation and has no contraindications (except for allergic reactions to drugs). For complete removal of subnail hematoma, as a rule, one procedure is enough.
