Bruised Fingernail Causes, Relief, Healing Time, Won't Go Away
When bleeding occurs under the toenail or fingernail, it is referred to as a sublingual hematoma in medical terms. This happens when the part is crushed and an injury sustained. It leads to collection of blood beneath and is accompanied by additional symptoms such as throbbing and extreme pain. The injury is, however, not worrisome unless it was severe enough to damage surrounding tissues such as by damaging the nail bed or breaking bones.
