Injured toenail?
If it is not red and painful, wash it with soap and water. Put an ointment that you are used to above and below the nail and cover with a band aide for a couple of days. The skin will be healing and the nail should come off after a long warm water soak and a gentle pull of the male. Follow up with ointment 3 more days. If no redness or pain you should be finished. Any concerns see your local Podiatrist or PCP. READ MORE
