Toe nail got ripped off
So I was moving a wooden table across, accidentally my toe nail got ripped off partially. I removed the nail on my own, there was little blood.
Please find attached the pic of the broken nail with this message.
Then i applied Savlon antiseptic liquid. Felt a burning sensation so kept the area open like that.
Please help me out with further steps to cure asap!!!
