Physiology & Medicine / picked off an entire nail...

Recently, when I was picking my little toe nail on my left foot, I got under the nail from both the side and the bottom. In a matter of seconds, half of the nail (including the bottom) was lifted and hanging. Figuring that it would not reintegrate itself if I just left it, I went ahead and tore the rest of the nail off (it pulled up horizontally and from beneath the cuticle). While there is no sign of any nail, the cuticle remains. I know this is bad. I'm keeping it dry and clean to prevent infection, but, will it regrow? Thanks
