Hit my acrylic nail resulting in lifting my real nail and I believe pushing the nail bed to skin
Posted , 66 users are following.
I accidentally hit my acrylic nail against the cabinet causing it to lift my real nail bed and I think it also pushed my nail bed passing my cuticle. As you can see from the pictures, I believe that is my nail that should be under my skin. Should I keep it covered until the nail grows--of course I will put peroxide on twice a day. What should I do? Someone please help

Thank you for responding. I would take the acrylic off, but it still attached to the real nail, which is pulled off from the nail bed area. I figured since nails grow, my acrylic would eventually come off like in 3 weeks. That's why I cut the acrylic off as short as I could, put hydrogen peroxide, and covered it in bandages so, like you said, it wont catch on anything and lift it anymore. If you see the picture, what freaked me out was the fact that upon hitting it, the nail plate either ripped my skin near the cuticle causing it to be visible or the nail plate is sitting on top of my skin. That area itself doesnt hurt just the nail bed.
Again, thanks for the response though.

I used nail clippers/scissors to cut as much of my nail off as possible got rid of the pain even if I do have to wait for it to grow back now 😦

Omg my nail literally looks the same from play fighting with my bf and he fell on my finger it hurt super bad but my cuticle is pushed a little more down like it's bigger but it's the same finger and my real nail is detached from the bed it's stuck on the acrylic nail like only the "body part" the sides are still attached to the nail bed so I don't know what to do it hurts sooo bad!!!
