What to do when you split a fingernail in half?

it's very painful, probably worse than being smashed in the balls with a baseball batWhat to do when you split a fingernail in half?
sand it with a fingernail file and put supper glue on it where it is split. Allow to dry thoroughly and band-aid it. Continue until healedWhat to do when you split a fingernail in half?
The first thing to do is clean it with an antiseptic then all you can do is apply neosporin, cover it and keep it dry. It will take a long time for the nail to grow out so try to keep it trimmed so you don't catch it on something.
Clean it gently two times a day with warm soap and water. I agree, use neosporin and cover all of it, and use a bandaid. Take aspirin for the pain, and within 48 hours, the pain should go away, and it will begin to heal. It may mend itself together, or grow with a ridge in the middle where it was split. Either way, it will grow out to normal.
Just leave it alone. Don't pick at it and try to keep it dry.





I'm not much of a baseball fan though. ;)
you make sure to clean it and ceep it coverd
