Hi All,
My mum has asked if I can help with her thumb nail (pic below).
She had a dent caused by traumer some time ago and it has now grown out towards the free edge. Problem being she has been catching it at work, it's now split and tender if any pressure is put on it.
She has also got a slight dent further down the nail, again due to trauma i believe as she works in retail and is always using her hands.
She has been putting a plaster in it to try and protect it.
I cannot see any signs of infection or bruising.
Can you suggest any ways of treating this or should i leave it alone?
Thanks in advance.
