Toe nail got ripped off

2020-06-09 06:51:47
So I was moving a wooden table across, accidentally my toe nail got ripped off partially. I removed the nail on my own, there was little blood. Please find attached the pic of the broken nail with this message. Then i applied Savlon antiseptic liquid. Felt a burning sensation so kept the area open like that. Please help me out with further steps to cure asap!!!
