lottiefox Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Since I came back from Poland one of my toenails appears to be somewhat black. See attached - don't look if you don't like toes/nails/feet type things etc or if eating!. is it frostbite? Will it fall off? The nail not the toe. It seems to be growing but I'm too scared to try and trim it in case the whole thing drops off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 No Frost bite is death of living tissue isn't it? Unless it's the HN51 varient in which case you're screwed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazza_g Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 that looks like a blood blister under the nail - have you stubbed your toe or hit it with anything recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lottiefox Posted February 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 [ QUOTE ] this is frostbite [/ QUOTE ] Urgggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I haven't hit my toe but I did a lot of walking and snow shoe type stuff - could that be it? Do I need to do anything with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazza_g Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 yup, frostbite kills off the nerve endings - its very dangerous as people on expeditions could not notice that its happening Lottie - I think all that walking could have rubbed to cause the blood blister, it should just go - but as with anything if it starts to get worse, bigger or more painful - see your GP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lottiefox Posted February 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 I've decided to have some more wine, heat up a needle and see what happens if I stab the toenail. I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danksy Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Or just stand outside for a few hours in the freezing snow to kill the nerve ends then do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
