Can I put on a cream or something to help glue it back on? I'm afraid that an infection will develop in the detached area.

Question

Hi, due to anxiety I scratched under my nail which made a bruise, I then hung it up. It has been healing for a few weeks, but half of my nail has come off with the healing. What can I do to make it stick again? I'm afraid that half of my nail will not reattach and that it will pull off completely.

Hello, It is difficult for me to give an opinion on the situation without having seen the nail in question. I therefore recommend that you go to a pharmacy and show your nail to the pharmacist on duty. He will be able to direct you to the right product based on his observations, or to recommend a medical consultation if he deems it necessary. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful at this time.
