help me?How long does it take for a brusied nail to fall off?
this has happened to many people i know. it usually falls off in around a month. it starts to get dry and kinda wiggly like a loose tooth. then itll just come right off. its kinda like teeth; the new nail underneath will start to develop, getting harder and less sticky, so the old nail with be released. just dont fool with it in the meantime, itll come off when it wants to.How long does it take for a brusied nail to fall off?
It all varies. Like the first answer said, the nail will start getting loose. The skin around it that's holding the nail down kind of becomes stretchy. If you haven't drained the blood underneath the nail yet, and if you poke a hole in the stretchy skin, the blood squirts out and drains itself then. Try not to pull the whole nail off, just wait until time does its thing. That way, the nail will act as a ';natural bandage';, and cover the area underneath it, so it won't be exposed to things that you don't want to go in there.





Good luck!
I've bruised my nail heaps of times and it has never fallen off. so there's every chance it wont.
