Did some bricolage and broke a nail on the big toe. Now I have a very short nail and the skin is a bit reddish when the nail ends. I'm quite tempted to go to my GP but if the advice is continue to put Betadine and bandage, I think it's a waste of time.
 
Keep a very close eye on it and if it is not healing or gets hot or sorer than it is then it's then definitely see the GP.
 
I had a similar problem went to DN got appointment tomorrow with podiatrist and diabetic team. what daisyduck says is spot on please don't ignore it.
 
Ok, seems that is healing. I disinfected with alcool and put a bandage on it. Now is all pink. The only problem is that the nail is now very short.
