My nail came off a little bit

Question

My nail came off a little of it. What sholud I do? Do I pull it or do I try to stick it back together?

Answer 1

The best thing to do is put a plaster (band aid) over it and let the bed of the nail repair itsself first. Don't pull it, apart from being painful you will damage the nail bed and open the wound to infection. Get someone to cut the nail shorter after a few days, preferably a Chiropodist.
