A nail bed injury involves damage to the skin beneath the nail and can result from trauma, leading to pain, swelling, and potential nail deformities if not properly treated. Timely medical intervention is crucial to prevent complications such as infection or permanent nail damage.

Result from trauma

Pain is a complex and subjective experience that serves as a protective mechanism by signaling potential or actual harm to the body. It involves sensory, emotional, and cognitive components, making it both a physical sensation and a psychological experience.

Pain

Swelling, also known as edema, is the result of fluid accumulation in tissues, often caused by inflammation, injury, or underlying medical conditions. It can manifest in various parts of the body and may indicate localized issues or systemic health concerns, necessitating further medical evaluation if persistent or severe.

Prevent Complications

Infection is the invasion and multiplication of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites that are not normally present within the body, potentially leading to disease. The body's immune response to infection can cause symptoms ranging from mild to severe, and understanding the mechanisms of infection is crucial for prevention and treatment.
