Brief Answer:
General Care & wait
Detailed Answer:
Hello
My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.
I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. Apart from general care you need to do nothing. Simply wait & observe. General Care includes:
> keep it clean.
> Dry immediately after it gets wet because of any reason.
> Wear open shoes so that sweat does not accumulate.
> Avoid walking bare foot.
> Avoid dust.
Toe nail grows slowly as compared to finger nail. So you just need to be patience. As the healthy nail will grow, separated nail will be removed from base by itself.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
