Toenail coming off! what to do???

Question

I had shoes that just didnt work for my feet. They turned my tonail all black and purple and now two months later [and about two centimeters of new nail growth] my nail is falling off. My nail is dead but this might also be due to a girl that stepped on my foot today @#$*&@#$ arg.

But the problem is....

1.The nail is attached on the right side so i cant cut it with out cutting my nail in half.

2. I have homecomeing sept 20th and i want to wear sandles. My new nail will not have grown all the way in by then & i dont want to wear a bandaid.

So now i have to decide...

1. Do i cut it in half and suffer along with the pain and embaressment? or let it just rip off. OUCH!

2. Just see what it does and try to keep it from falling off until after homecoming....???

HELP HELP!!!

thanks!

here are some picture so you know what im talking about. It's really not that bad to the on-looker.

Answer 2

I get these from snowboarding, yuck and painful. You have a whole month to grow back your toenail, so I would just cut it off and put a bandaid with neosporin on it over it. It will grow back in time, unless your nails grow really slow. Then I would take some prenatal vitamins, they strengthen your nails and make your hair shiny. Good for homecoming neh?
