It's difficult to say - sometimes there can be some pigment on a nail that isn't too concerning, but it sounds like this nail might be torn or broken. If the nail appears broken it may not need any treatment - I am not familiar with Exoheal spray so I don't know if it would hurt or not. If the nail starts bleeding again or if your dog is licking or bothering it then I'd recommend having your vet examine the nail to see if further treatment is needed.
