Owch!!!! I'M Dieing Here!!

[GabbyFang]

I was at school 2day, and slip and fell into this nasty pond! I dug my fingers into the bottom and ended up getting dirt lodged under the pink part of my nail! It seriously hurts and might be broken! What should I do? Go to the doctors?

P.S.- Yes, we tried to clean the dirt out, but my finger is, like, really sensitive.:(

If it's badly messed up, you'll probably have to wait for a new nail to grow in.

Wont it get infected?

Hmm, probably. My guess is you'd have to keep the busted up nail on as long as possible, to protect your skin, while the new one grows in.

Keep cleaning it out with hydrogen peroxide to keep infections away. Or see a dr.

Go get a tetnis (SP?) shot.

Anywho, I went to the doctor. My fingers broken! With the cast I had to write with my left hand at school today [hurt my right hand]!! Sucky!!!!
