I woke up this morning (at a party) thinking OW MY BIG TOE HURTS...I looked at it and the a bit of the nail has split down the centre and it looks bloody and manky! How do nails...correct themselves?!! Will i need to trim and regrow it? Cause that'll hurt!!!!! And will the bloody and bruising bugger off?
Oweeee!

How'd you do that? Sounds sore
depending on how serious the nail is damaged, the split part is probably just going to grow out.
If it's more serious though I'd get an appointment at your GP and ask him about it.
In the worst case they'll have to "cut out" your toe-nail (sounds creepier than it actually is) so it can grow back properly.
But I'd wait and see, if the pain hasn't gone any better in a week or so and the split doesn't seem tio heal I'd go to a doc.
Well I have no idea how I did it. It's not like, the whole nail, no (thankfully!!) but its like, the white tip which for me is like 5mm long. It felt like something had been dropped on it when I woke up with it and it was so uncomfy just wearing shoes. It looks bloody under the nail , but hurts less- thanks for the replies xx
Probably best to tape it up if it's split or put a plaster over it - and yes, go to the doctor if the pain persists for longr than a few days.
