Acrylic nail been pulled off with my natural nail!

[Chrissie0444]

Hey! Not sure if anyone can help but I tripped over and the whole acrylic on my big toe has basically come off it’s just hanging on by the root. I stuck it down with plasters and it’s really wobbly do I just keep it on until it falls off or do I need to pull it off? I’m not sure what to do as happened like 4/5 days ago and looked again today and underneath is bleeding again will it just eventually fall off? Thanks

I think a visit to the doctors or practice nurse is a better idea. Still bleeding after 4/5 days is not ideal. Potentially you're risking infection with a poorly healing wound. You might need the nail removing completely but better done by a professional than you pulling off. If you get it wrong you risk damaging the nail bed and/or matrix, etc.
