if it wasn't ripped off completely, you can use super glue to hold it together until it grows out enough to clip off
if it did rip completely off, file the edges of it as it is growing back in to prevent ingrown nails

cut the edges of the remaining nail so that there are no jagged edges, make sure everything is cut evenly! then, clean it rubbing alcohol or peroxcide. then, put neosporin on it. after you have done all of this, place a bandage on it. clean it and change the bandage daily.
if you do see signs of it becomming ingrown, or see signs of it becomming infected, consult a pediatrist right away.
good luck!

I've had them ripped and ripped off completely. They grow back, nothing special needed. They do tend to look or feel that they will ingrow, but mine never did.

it may take some months besides the undeniable fact that it may improve decrease back. save the toe sparkling. once you position on shoes or shoes, wrap it in a band help. Soak in a warmth sea salt water foot bathtub formerly mattress.

Keep it clean -- hydrogen peroxide, iodine, +bandaid. Your major problem is to prevent a fungus. Pinkie toes don't "ingrow."

ooch! The best thing you could do is trim it up and make sure there is not a piece of nail in your cuticle

JUST KEEP AN EYE ON IT AND KEEP IT CLEAN. WHEN YOU TRIM IT, TRIM STRAIGHT ACROSS, NOT ANGLED. YOU CAN SMOOTH THE ROUGH EDGE WITH A FILE OR EMBROIDERY BOARD(SOFT BROWN FILE -SOMETIMES PINK)

See a podiatrist he may be able to treat it so that it won't be a problem.
