Hiker's Toe - Dried blood has not gone away for over 8 months

[kazoo14]

I went hiking over this past summer, and due to my boots and socks I received trauma to my nailbed causing bleeding under both of my toenails.  Initially there was pressure and swelling (which causes a slightly bulge in each toenail), but after a week the swelling subsided and I was left with two black toenails.  One of the toenails has been slowly growing out and each time I trim it, I am able to remove the dried blood areas. On the other hand, the other toenail is not growing nearly as fast, and the affected region is not moving up at all.  Any suggestions on this?  There is no swelling or pain, there is just a bunch of dried blood stuck underneath.  It has been a little over 8 months and I still have these symptoms.

Hello~

I would see a podiatrist. You probably need a drug to help clear this up.

I would suggest that you see a podiatrist, he/she will be able to help with the nails themselves and all probably give you something to take as well.
