Cut fingernails too short…

Y’all, be nice. I accidentally cut my fingernails a little too short, and one of them is hurting whenever I put pressure on it. Has anyone found anything that can help it heal faster? Salve, oil, etc?

Time.

Maybe wear a Band-Aid while it grows back.

Super glue might help 

My usual partner swears by this.   She lays a small bead of glue and then presses to hold the area “shut” for half a minute.

Medical grade super glue is probably best. But not my / her concern.

Liquid band aid and athletic tape. 

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
