Oh : Oh my, not good. First, it is imperative that you get a tetanus shot if you aren't up to date. No xray to make sure there was no underlying fracture? The kind of doctors who take care of this are hand surgeons. I really think you need to be medically evaluated for this.

I : I agree get evaluated with a third of the nail the level you may have cut through the end of the bone depending upon the obliquity or angle of the cut often these heal well secondarily ie with time and dressing changes but the skin flap may need to be derided or washed out not just stuck back on.
