Usually, bruised toenails that are not too painful and have mild bruising symptoms do not require special treatment and will recover on their own. You can also use a hot compress or apply Yunnan Baiyao cream to the affected area to help recover. If the toe is hit more seriously and the bruising is more severe, it is important to seek medical attention to avoid inflammation of the toenail due to the bruising, which can cause significant pain and inconvenience in daily life, and, if necessary, to determine whether or not to have the nail removed. It is also important to note that during the recovery phase of treatment, it is best for the patient to wear shoes that are loose and breathable to prevent the toenail from being pressed again, which can lead to increased stasis of blood, and to pay attention to foot hygiene, especially the cleanliness of the affected area of the foot, to prevent infection of the affected area due to lack of hygiene and cleanliness, which can cause unnecessary trouble.
