It pulled part of the nail up at base. Blood pooled, and I had to crack or cut a hole to let blood nd puss out. I am pretty sure the nail will come off in a week or two. It has been about 3 days. and I have put on it robbing alcohol, Iodine, antibiotic gel, and tea tree oil, to fight any possible infection. ANything else I can do besides going to a doctor.

Stop putting all that stuff on it--that stuff is killing any cells trying to heal the wound. Pus isnt come out, tissue fluid did. Tape the nail down to protect the nail plate and try to keep it on as long as possible. The new nail will grow underneath but you need to protect the nail pulp.

No and you're probably fighting a losing battle. Anything applied on the nail surface will not penetrate, so all that gunk is pointless. You should just go have the nail removed.
