Pinky toe nail coming off
I caught my pinky toenail on the bottom of my slacks as I was pulling them on and it is almost torn off–I cut it down to the skin but there is still a tear–it is a weekend and cannot get a podiatrist===don’t know what to do–do I just cut it off???seems to be away from the skin and loose

If the nail is close enough to the skin after you cut it, then I recommend you dress it with a topical antibiotic and cover it well with bandaids. If it is bleeding, then soaking it may be helpful. A new nail will grow and push the old one off. It will take some time though
