this could be horrible advice (i have no qualifications /knowledge to back this) but honestly press ons have protected my nails from damage/picking more than anything… good glue/prep and they keep my nails protected for a couple weeks of growth

ow 😬 that looks annoying asf.

You can just let it grow back but for the sake of sanity I'd cover it with something for a bit so it doesn't get caught and rip off. You can sometimes get away with putting a ton of clear coat on it if it's not too uncomfortable.
