*Yesterday afternoon I was rough housing with my brother, as were messing around I threw a pillow and looked down to blood and a sore finger. as I got a closer look at my acrylic nail I seen that half of my natural nail along with the false nail was a little lifting. I have cleaned the nail with hydrogen peroxide and I've also put gauze with Vaseline in sterile bandages on top what else should I do? should I go see a doctor?*File size is too big

    I'd definitely let the acrylic nail come off naturally. Don't try to pull it off. Once it's off, you need to let your nail bed heal before you put one back on. It happens to me all the time.
