How To Clean Dry Blood Between Broken Nail?

Recently, my nail broke (sort of). There is a crack near the base of the nail and you could put it up. Now there is dry blood between the broken nail and the healthy nail working kinda like a glue. Should I try to clean the blood or keep it there? And will the nail grow back? Thanks.
