Ok, if it's moist, it means there is still a break in the nail plate/skin, which I would not therefor apply anything too as it means there is a route of entry into the body & you could cause over exposure. So I would ask her to come back for you to deal with that nail ina day or two.
If it is dry/healed then I would clean with scrubfresh and enhance with L&P/Gel as normal.
Good luck - let us know how you get on xxxx

As Bev says, once it is dry you could even protect the area with a tip which will help her nail grow back over that area. if she has natural nails. Working around any open skin is a contraindication for nail enhancement. xx
