Blood scab on nail bed
Hi doctor
Nail of index finger got removed due to an accident. Got 4 stitches on the opposite side of nail they are removed after 12 days.
It has been one month now, blood scab is present on the area of nail. Will this scab automatically come out and nail will grow again?
I have taken antibiotics and pain relief medicines for 15 days. Using povidone iodine now to clean the area daily. Attaching photographs
