7 days back my toe nail got extracted during an accident. Doctor did the dressing and told not to dress the wound before 5 days. So as I was opening the bandage at last I saw that the gauze is stuck badly to the blood in the skin and tried to remove it but it started bleeding each time and it's paining a lot. So I left some gauze like that only and it became harder. And the pain increases whenever I touch it. What can I do? Can I leave it just like that and it will come of on its own? Coz it hurts badly whenever I try to pull out the string of the gauze. Pls somebody advice.

You can go to the doctor where they have expertise and instrument to do the dressing.. They may soak the bandage before removing it.
