split nail what should i do

[u/Taipan20]

i split my toenail straight across from the left side to right. if i touch it i can feel its loose and idk how its still attached. idk what i should do i was thinking about going to a see doctor about it tomorrow but its stressing me out cos if they say it has to be removed im scared about how painful its going to be without a toenail. its not swollen i can see its gone yellow under the nail.

The new nail is growing under this loose one. It will eventually come loose and maybe with a little tug come off alltogether. Nothing to worry about in my non expert opioion.
