Keep it clean and dry. Only use the peroxide if it starts looking infected. You can wrap it lightly with some gauze just to give it a little extra protection.

This happened to me last year when I got new running shoes that were too small. My toenail was hanging on by a thread, so I took it off. I personally would soak it and see if it falls off. It most likely is going to fall off again. It sucks and takes awhile to grow back. I just wrapped the shit out of my toe and went about my business.

Just don't overdo the peroxide. It kills good tissue. I think booze helps in these situations. I definitely won't, but it was {wonky}pussy and gross I was terrified this was a picture. I clicked anyways |

This has happened to me approximately 10000000 times.
I would clip down to what is still connected and wait.
The "new" nail is ugly, but I paint it anyway.
From now on, it will happen again. If it starts to grow curved, go see a podiatrist or it will get ingrown and that blows.
I found one guy at one shop that could cut my weird toenail so I didn't have to go to the doc, but he moved, so I just try to keep it cut myself.
Not my best advice, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

loony, I cannot deal with it, so I'm going to see if my SOs son will do it. He's an EMT and might be willing to cut it down. I feel nauseous when I think about it. The first time I had to go to the dr to have holes drilled in...that was traumatic, but I was 16, so I've pretty much gotten used it it by now. The tool they use to cut cuticles, that will be helpful. A toenail clippers will not work. Sorry. It sucks, but you'll get over it eventually. |
