Hello,
You should know that the nail glue is toxic for your skin and you can not glue the skin with this method. It seems that you have a local infection/inflammation. For this reason, I recommend consulting with your attending physician as a soon as possible for a physical exam. You may need to take antibiotics. Regarding keeping it together, surgery is the only treatment option.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
