Do I need to do anything?

It's now a bit of a crater it's possible she has been picking it & quite sore

I put some more bazuka (SP?) on it & a blister plaster for padding - but does she need to see a GP/Nurse?

Ooooh happy, snap with the nail clippers (are you my sister Grin)?

Yes it worked, I dont think it hurt (think it was dead) but even if it had I don't think I had much say in the process. Was maybe 12?

Beach is quite a common way for them to get dislodged, when they are on their way out the sand somehow rubs them so they fall out.

It went all black & crusty over the weekend & she asked me to clean it up

I was a bit Hmm

I once dig one out of my toe. Bled like mad, but never returned!

Black means dead though, so all good.

I pulled a big one out from under my big toe once - it looked like a christmas tree, and left a big hole that bled like buggery.

It's all gone black again; she is having her tetanus booster tomorrow I may ask the Nurse to look at it

One theory is that stress lowers the immune system and lets them in.
