So I posted in my moving thread a couple months ago that Cooper bit me on my thumb. He got me right at the base of the nail where it meets the cuticle. He got me quite good but the wound itself healed fine. But I'm having some problems with my nail during the growing out stage.
As the nail has grown out I could tell that it separated. It had a raised circle which had just begun to meet the end of my finger. When I was making the bed the other day I caught it and it split lifting the upper nail layers. So I had to cut off the upper separated layers of nail. So now half of my thumb just has a thin surface layer and is very uneven with a deeper indentation where the bite was.
Has anyone had something similar happen and have any suggestions while it grows out? The tip part is very thin and flexible on the surface. It is going to take months for it to fully grow out the damaged part.
