I smashed my finger in the car door, its obviously bruised, but there isnt excessive bleeding under the nail. The slam broke the skin and may have broken the nail right under the cuticle, but I cant tell at this point. What is the best way to care for it at home?

If nail is broken from cuticle it will not reattach, you have to remove or trim it, and will take 6-10 months to re grow, since bruising is there thus home treatment often helps relieve ...

Hello, This sounds so unusual that I ask you to get another potty made of some other material to collect his pee. Perhaps there is a material that the current potty is made of that is causing this reaction. Cloudy urine can mean an infection. So it would be a good idea to take him to his pediatrician for a physical e...

It is anxiety rela...
