Nail got grinded in a wet grinder

Question

Asked for Male, 31 Years

Hello Doctor, I have a serious practical problem. During preparing idli batter or idli dove in a grinder, i used my palm fingers to adjust the pulses for better grinding. During this process my right hand middle finger's nail got grinded 0.5 to 1 mm and the nail powder got mixed with idli dove. Now, is the idli dove harmful / poisonous to body and health? I am worried about quality and health. Kindly help me with expert Answer. Thank you soo much in advance. I'll meet in person if required

No, its not poisonous. But pls see a qualified dermatologist / surgeon/ plastic surgeon - for further management of the problem. You'll need regular dressing if there's a wound and antibiotic if its infected. Warm, regards, Dr Govind Suresh Mittal, Bengaluru.
