* Treat for and control bleeding. * Keep the area clean and disinfected. * Wrap in a loose-fitting gauze, but fashion the tape or KoBan wrapping in such as way as to protect the tender extremity. * Consider wrapping to the second toe for support. See how the patient feels. * Avoid compressing the wound, as in wearing shoes. * Check dressing often. * Treat for pain (meds and elevate limb, cold-pack, etc.)

Is it normal for a person to have more than one toenail growing on a toe at the same time i lost the toenail a few years back from injuries and it fell off again and there were 2 sets growing?

If a toenail gets damaged, by a shock, or too short a shoe, it can "die" and a new one starts to grow underneath. Eventually the damaged one falls off. That may or may not be your problem. Check with a doctor.
