I know it's not that big a deal, but what do I do?!


Question: I know it's not that big a deal, but what do I do?
It's never happened before, and I know it's not a big deal. But I'm wondering what to do.So long story short, I crash into the wall and my hands stopped it but one of my nails cracked a little and dug into my skin (the skin under the nail). So these are my questions:

1) What should I do?
2) Will the nail heal or will I have to wait untill it grows out?
3) If I have to wait for it to grow, How long (It's about half way down my middle finger nail)

Answers:

Go to the doctor
Your finger could get infected
You might have to get your nail removed



It might not seem like that big of a deal, but if it cut into your skin, you might want to ask your doctor those questions.
