I have knocked my second toe nail off it’s hanging on at the corner.
It’s bled quite a lot.

It’s not gushing but still trickling a bit.

I can’t cover it as the nail sticks into the wound and I can’t put any antiseptic on it as it’s still bleeding a bit

Anyone recommend best course of action pls I don’t think it’s serious enough for hospital thank you

Ouch that sounds painful! Sorry we can’t give medical advice on the forum as none of us are trained professionals or know your medical history. Probably the best thing to do is to call 111 and let them triage you and they will be in the best position to tell whether it’s worth going to A&E or how to treat it.
