How to treat a lost toenail?

I recently ran a marathon and finished with a blister on my little toe at the nail area. A couple of days later I was swimming and the toenail was just hanging . I pulled it off and put a bandaid on the area. It is not bleeding at all but the area is raw where the blister was and the toenail was. Is there something I should be doing to treat this? I want to make sure the nail grows back in correctly.

Thanks for your help!!!

Ankle braces go on fast and the athlete does the applying so there is no waiting in line to be taped. Super easy strap adjustment for a custom fit with solid ankle support.
