Wearing a glove heat a pin til red and then press against the most bloodiest (darkest) area of the nail (do not push, it will burn through) yourr nail will make a small popping sound and the blood (which will be black) will pour out of the hole. I've just done it an hour ago and it didn't hurt one bit and finger feels much better. Make sure you clean afterwards. good luck

Do NOT do what the above poster has suggested. Putting a hole in the top of your nail vastly increases your chance of infection. I broke my finger a couple of weeks back and an urgent care clinic did this to my nail. After the procedure, they stressed the importance of taking the antibiotic they proscribed. The next week my primary care physician informed me of how dangerous this procedure is. It should only be done if a Dr. thinks it is necessary, and then generally antibiotics will be needed to insure that the entire finger does not get infected.

Don't mess with it. Just leave it be. If you want, you can put a band-aid on it for protection. Put some medicated cream on it for a few months or possibly a year. Your nail should heal after 7 months or more. You might have a little dent in the middle of your finger nail, but don't worry. It WILL go away. It's happened to me once, so I know how to treat it.

if it is a greenish color you need to go to the hospital so they can drain the blood out

ANS2:If you are in real pain from it, you can drill (or burn) a hole through the nail to release the pressure. You really ought to let a medical professional do it if you've never seen it done before.

Well, obviously, you will get menstrual blood on your finger/hand and under the fingernail. This bothers some women; others are not bothered by it. Orgasm will push out more menstrual blood. Otherwise, masturbation when on a period is the same as when not menstruating, except it is messier.

A subungual hematoma is blood trapped under a nail. By the next day, it has the characteristic black or very dark blue appearance.

Getting attention within hours of the accident can reduce pain and swelling; after the blood clots, however, the affected person just needs to wait until the swelling goes down naturally.

How do you prick your finger with no pain?

Ice your finger until it is numb.Make sure that your finger is warm, you can put the finger under warm water. reason being, you capillary blood thins from the heat and stimulates blood flow. Massage the tip of your finger, to increase the blood flow also. Disinfect with alcohol swab, then gently squeeze your finger, prick your finger, whip fist drop off and squeeze your finger gently again. You should get a droplet enough for your test. Do not use ice, this decreases the blood flow to the area, resulting in less blood and the pain of having to prick again. Trust me I am a Medical Assistant! I am diabetic and preform this procedure all day!
