Hi all,
A few days ago my lovely 10 year old daughter came off her scooter & her nail on her ring finger was lifted from the nail bed up! It was the most awful thing to watch my Molly in sooo much pain. :cry:
I took her to A&E & they were brilliant with her. They saw her straight away but poor thing had to have two injections in the base of her finger then when it was numb they cut the whole nail off. After the Doc cleaned it up she said a specialist had told her to place the old nail back on so when the new nail grows back it will be smooth & not all ridgey.
I'm interested to hear from anyone with similar experience of this kind of nail damage & if they think the new nail will grow back ok.
She had a pain free night lastnight & I've got to take her back tomorrow to have the dressing changed again. Fingers crossed there's no infection.
Thanks for reading my thread
