since your child has been frusterated with his finger nail you could try and soak it in warm water every so often and hope it lets go. As warm water softens our nails you could use that to your advantage by soaking his nail in warm water and allowing him to pull it off but thats just a thought also you could try cutting around the lifted nail and just leaving the bit still stuck on hope this helps its a real horrible situation to be in when you cant do much

As a manicurist, for someone so young, I would suggest taking him to your GP. As was said before if the nail plate is damaged to badly the nail may not grow again proprerly and if it is not treated properly infection could still become an issue. A GP will be able to give you better advice anyway. Good luck

cut back all the dead nail so moisture wont get trapped under it and cause a fungus, the attached will grow out but it takes a while, and if the nail plate has alot of damage the nail may not ever grow normal, depends on the amount of damage. Good luck

wait till he is asleep n try cutting of as much of the nail as you can i guess.

good luck
