You better take it of (not yourself,ask a doctor's help).Below is some (hopefully interesting :-) info about nail growth:





(From Sternberg's ';Histology For Pathologists';)





The rate of growth of the nail plate has been studied extensively. Normal nail growth varies between 0.1 and 1.12 mm per day, or 1.9 to 4.4 mm per month.This growth, however, is not the same in all fingers or toes.For example, fingernails grow faster than toenails.Whereas a normal fingernail grows out completely in approximately six months, a normal toenail takes 12 to 18 months to do the same. Nails grow faster when regenerating after avulsion.


Several physiological circumstances can cause variations in the nail growth.Nail growth is quicker in males, during the day, during pregnancy, in persons who bite their nails,and in summer or warm climates.Conversely,nails grow more slowly in females,during the night,in toes,in winter,after age 20,and during lactation.


Nail growth is also altered in several diseases. Nails grow quicker with psoriasis,pityriasis rubra pilaris,etretinate treatment, and hyperthyroidism; nails grow slower in cases of immobilization or paralysis, local ischemic conditions, cytostatic therapy, denutrition, hypothyroidism, and yellow nail syndrome.





Good luck,and don't worry-nobody will notice! :-)My nail is coming off because i chipped it, help?
when that happens to me i just clip it off because it makes me feel better. when it's just sitting there awkwardly, i feel so uncomfortable. so yeah, clip.
Put hardware clue on the inside and the outside of the nail, and leave it. it will glue back together very hard. Also, another tip, when you find time just put glue on it.
I would try to leave a bandaid on it at all times hopefully it will grow back really really fast
