In this case, you can use hydrogen peroxide or povidone-iodine for local disinfection and bandage with sterile gauze, and the patient’s toenail can grow and heal after 1~2 weeks. If the patient’s toenail cap is separated from the nail bed for the most part, and the nail bed is severely damaged and accompanied by active bleeding, it is recommended that the patient go to the hospital in time, and under local anesthesia, perform nail extraction, and at the same time, bandage it with Vaseline gauze, and compress it with sterile gauze to stop bleeding.
