This condition has been lingering on for 2 months already because of repeated trauma.

Maybe I should rest a few weeks...

I can book an early appointment for you to see our podiatrist. We cannot afford a key forward player to miss any matches. Sorry!

Q1 : subungual hematoma complicated by onycholysis

Q2 : Subungual hematomas are treated by either releasing the pressure by drilling a hole through the nail into the hematoma (trephining) or by removing the entire nail. Trephining is generally accomplished by using a heated instrument to pass through the nail into the blood clot. Avoid repeated trauma.
