Bandaid: Warm soapy water soak 15-20 min an cover with neosporin oint. And a bandaid. May eventually come off on its own in days to weeks. Keep covered so you don't snag it. If painful or does not improve see your foot doctor. Apma.Org. Dr l.

See apodiatrist: The easiest thing to do would be to see a podiatrist for treatment. But if determined to do at home, soak in warm soapy water, use a nail clipper to trim the toenail as far down as possible, apply antiseptic cream and bandaid.
