What do you do if your nail is split and half come away from the finger ?

would you try to get it off or bandage it up ?What do you do if your nail is split and half come away from the finger ?
I would remove as much of it as I could with a nail clipper, then CAREFULLY file off any sharp edges, then put a bit of vaseline on the nail (not your whole finger) and apply a band-Aid over the whole thing. Keep cutting off as much as you can and changing the Band-Aid daily until there is no chance it will rip off.





It's a pain in the butt, but MUCH better than the pain of having the nail rip off. The Vaseline is so the Band-Aid doesn't accidentally stick to the nail and rip it off - would kinda defeat the purpose.What do you do if your nail is split and half come away from the finger ?
It would be best to carefully cut it off. Don't pull it because it would make it worse. You just need to make sure you get the broken bit off because it could catch on something. It will grow back in no time. Also, if you bandage it up then when you pull the bandage off it could pull it off.xx
Put antibiotic on it and keep it bandaged. After the nail stops being so sore/sensitive take the bandage of and let it heal on its own. Make sure to be careful with that finger.
Cut it back as far as you can without hurting yourself. Put a plaster over it for a few days and it will start to grow out
buy some nail glue! its same as what you use to stick fake nails down with,but file the glue down once its gone hard so its not just a big blob
Tape it down so you don't catch it in something that rips it off.
say wow dats hurt lol i would deffo bandage it up so u cant catch it and totaly rip it off trust me dat hurts
