Chop that shit off and throw it in the garbage. Or use it for hook fishing.
Then buy some fertilizer, the best kind is horse manure. Throw that on some soil, dig your foot inside and don't stick the foot out. Wait a few days. A new toe will grow. Make sure to water once everyday.

Re: Damaged my toe
Something else to look forward to:
If you're still alive in 3-4 decades, I hope your enjoy your post-traumatic arthritis. I was just examined by a surgeon and was told the "severe osteoarthritis" in my big toe is the result of the damage inflicted on it that long ago. The podiatrist had told me it wasn't possibly related but the surgeon, with 16,000 procedures under his belt, absolutely overruled her.

I'm still amazed at the number of people who told Snake to go to the doctor because he stubbed his toe.

Re: Damaged my toe
I broke my toe at work in 1978 and it's never been the same.
If it's broken,there isn't much they can do.
They make special clippers to remove toe nails. I remove mine all the time because its basically a fungus nail. Fungus nails(sometimes) are hard to get rid of. If you have gout then medication for removing fungus nails doesn't work well(this was my experience).
Once you remove it,the nail area will be infected for a day or two. Then the nail grows back(real fast). It might grow back normal and then there will be no problem.
If you have health ins. then go to a doctor. If you don't -you are basically paying hundreds of dollars to have them remove it.
