I cut the side off of mine and some of the side of my nail along with it. We were living in this little tiny town in NM. No clinic, no dentist, not even a vet. Just layed down and held it up in the air till hubs got home. Want to hear something funny? He is an OR nurse but he was working in a different town. Kept telling me I was going to have to have a skin graph I had cut it so bad. Dug my heels in and took my Stress Tabs with Zinc and you wouldn't believe how fast it healed. Dentist told me about those and they are amazing to help heal wounds. Might give them a try. Take care.
