I just left mine alone and let it grow back, was painful the first few days but ok after that. If you see any signs of concern seek medical attention

I have something similar, a big toe nail hanging by a thread which I have been keeping a plaster on to stop me catching it.
It did seem to be infected so saw the GP and had antibiotics and a referral to a podiatrist, the wait has been 10 weeks, I see them in a couple of weeks, I suppose it may come off in the meantime.
Somebody I know said it happened to her and a new one had just grown underneath.
I was not sure what to do which is why I went to the GP.

I would suggest calling the GP. As in @Leadinglights case, there could be more to it - an infection, a fungal situation or many other things. Right now just make sure it's sterile, but I would encourage you to call your practice in the morning just to be safe.
