Nail Haematoma Treatment

Nail Haematoma Treatment

A nail haematoma, also known as a subungual haematoma, occurs when blood collects underneath a fingernail or toenail, usually after an injury. It may cause throbbing pain, swelling, tenderness, and dark red, purple, or black discolouration beneath the nail.

At MyGP Clinic, our doctors can assess the injured nail and check for damage to the nail bed or an underlying fracture. If the blood collection is recent and painful, a small opening may be made in the nail to drain the trapped blood and relieve pressure. In more severe cases, partial or complete nail removal, wound care, or further imaging may be recommended.

Avoid attempting to pierce or drain the nail at home, as this may cause infection or further injury. Seek prompt medical attention if there is severe pain, significant swelling, an open wound, numbness, or difficulty moving the affected finger or toe.

指甲下血肿处理

指甲下血肿是指血液积聚在手指甲或脚趾甲下方，通常由撞击、挤压或其他外伤引起。常见症状包括跳痛、肿胀、触痛，以及指甲下出现深红色、紫色或黑色瘀血。

MyGP Clinic 医生会检查受伤的指甲，并评估甲床是否受损或有潜在骨折。如果血肿刚形成且疼痛明显，医生可在指甲上开一个小孔，排出积血并减轻压力和疼痛。情况较严重时，可能需要部分或完全拔除指甲、进行伤口护理或安排进一步影像检查。

请勿自行在家刺穿或放血，以免造成感染或进一步损伤。如出现剧烈疼痛、明显肿胀、开放性伤口、麻木，或手指、脚趾活动困难，请尽快就医。
