dont peel anything off!!
1. wash it with water and soap if u can
2. put Neosporin or other antibiotic ointment on it
3. put on bandage or band-aid
4.elevate your foot for a little while (put it on a pillow while u sit)
*optional: instead of washing it you could put hydrogen peroxide (a disinfectant) on it if you've got some*
it will be ok, no big deal

Just let nature take its course. It may be painful at first, but it shoudn't hurt too much. And besides, if its happened before then what's there to worry about? Of course its going to bleed, your toenail is half off. But once it's gone it'll grow back quickly. It happens all the time to me in soccer. :-]

I did exactly the same thing the other week ,after I had finished swearing I soaked it in a bowl of hot salt water then taped the nail back down with a plaster and just left it for a few days and it settled back down in the nail bed itself.it does not need removing it will heal on its own beleive me

Go see a foot doctor. He will be able to remove the nail and it will grow back eventually. It's safer that way than you trying to remove it and getting an infection.

Toenail clippers. Try putting a bandaid on it.

if you can afford it go to dr. they can numb it and take it off.if you cant do that Id cut it where its broken and bandage it up I dont know what you can use at home to stop it from hurting except tylenol or some good pain pills.

Put your toe on frozen water or on ice, until you feel your toe is numb. Then pull it off right away and fast, not slow, slow might hurt.
Other wise, see your doctor and he can help you.

Do not glue it ! a band-aid will hold it and keep doctoring it with Neosporin and let nature take it's course.
