clean it really well with peroxide and get some New Skin. This stuff works great and it may help the nail to reattach itself.

This was good advice. clean it really well with peroxide and get some New Skin. This stuff works great and it may help the nail to reattach itself. Try this and see if it helps.
Good luck!

Ouch, I just did the same thing last week and it bleed like a pig.
I did not cut it!
I put Neosporen(spelling?) on it and put a band aid on it and it is growing out.
When it get's long enough, THEN I will cut it.
I still keep a band aid on it.
