Your nail bed is the pinkish-colored soft tissue underneath your nail plate (the hard part of your nail). It's the area where your nail plate rests and receives nourishment from nerves and blood vessels.
Here are some additional details about your nail bed:
- It is made up of cells that lie just under the nail plate, which is the main part of your toenail.
- It's also called the sterile matrix.
- The nail bed is essential for nail growth and health.
- Nail bed injuries can be painful and require proper care.
