Replying to Smashed Toenails

OK, first of all, i need new boots. its okay if your toenails get all bruised and die the first time you wear them but ive had this happen four times in these boots and ive had em since January of '02. anyways, what are your thoughts on care for this nasty little problem, let em fall off naturally or yank em out? its really itchy right now which is a good sign because that means all the blood blister and nastiness is healing. any suggestions or thoughts?
