Oh. this happened to me last year. Its going to be fine. your nail will come off but a new one grows back in like 1 day.. And i didnt go to the doctor...But when my nail came off there was a nail under it, so you'll be fine...
no you shouldnt do anything to it yourself, go to the doctors, they are the ones that know how to deal with it, you dont want to make things worse.
