Yes, your nail will grow back. However, you should not pull the whole thing off. I assume it has pulled away from the nail bed so you can cut it back, but don't pull it away or it could get infected. Cut it back and cover it with a bandaid for a few days.
Sorry about your nail!

Don't worry your nail will grow back. Nail and hair are made of the same thing, and they both grow back. It will just take time. If you see your nail about to fall off don't pick on it or peel it further even more. And if you notice, the new nail is pushing the old nail out and you will see a little bump of a new nail forming.

Ouchy! I hate to assert it, yet I have been given a finger caught in an equipment on a affected person mattress and it took over a twelve months for the nail to look thoroughly standard back. The nail grew back, besides the undeniable fact that it became gruesome for that length of time. Sorry.

Ouchy! I hate to mention it, however I bought a finger stuck in an equipment on a sufferer mattress and it took over a 12 months for the nail to seem fully traditional once more. The nail grew again, but it surely was once unsightly for that period of time. Sorry.
