Dear-thanks for using our service, I read your question in detail and will give you my medical advise. It is important to keep the area clean and avoid infection,cleaning it with the peroxide and triple antibiotics. You can keep it open while you are home and cover it if getting out,mostly to protect the area from another local trauma.The nail will grow back, it takes some time,average of 12 weeks ,but will grow.
I hope that my advise has been helpful
