This happened to my son about 10 years ago, except it was his finger. He closed his finger in the dishwasher and locked it. A fourth of the nail came off, but the doctor didn't remove it. He said it would eventually fall off by itself and it did. I can't even tell which finger it was. But if it's not infected or bleeding, as I was told, then just let it grow and carefully clip the nail as it get's longer.
My only suggestion would be to go to the doctors and see if they have a way of removing the whole nail.


This way a new nail will grow in it's place.
