My six year old daughter had stumbled her toe a while ago and the nail was black ans blue underneath for a long time. She is in gymnastics so she kept hitting and scraping it which made it hard to heal. I just looked at it recently and I have never seen anything like it...it looks like the tip of the skin is completely gone. The toe isn t discolored and it doesn t hurt but I almost looks like the tip of her toe is gone. She said she keeps scraping it. Could this be a infection or a fungus?
Thank you for following up. It can be fungal or bacterial infection. For excluding of fungus you should show this toe to dermatologist, he will take cells for culture, you try to apply chloramphenicol 1% 2 times and clotrimazole 2 times in different times 5 days, if you will not see effects then go to dermatologist. Your daughter should give rest to this finger for speedy recovery. All the best Chat Doctor.
