It depends how badly you have damaged the nail bed. Sometimes the nail will grow until the dark spot (or blue spot) grow right out and other times you may lose the nail completely. Nature takes it course so wait and see, but keep the nail clean and put antibiotic cream on it.

When factory work caught his finger in machine and the entire nail and nail bed was torn off will his nail grow back why and why not?

If the growth zone of the nail (slightly behind the cuticle) is basically OK, the nail will grow back, but it can take almost a full year before it's reached normal size and shape again. If the growth zone is damaged, then the nail might come back deformed. Thicker, cloudy, wavy or anything like that. It may eventually return to normal, or it may always be strange. If the growth zone is really badly damaged, or actually missing, the nail might not come back at all.


What happens when your nail is removed?

When a nail is removed, the underlying nail bed is exposed, which can lead to pain, swelling, and sensitivity in the area. The nail bed may heal over time, but it will take several months for a new nail to grow back fully. During the healing process, it's essential to keep the area clean and protected to prevent infection. In some cases, the new nail may grow back differently than the original.


Can a nail grow back?

Yes, usually they do, as do fingernails. Although if there was significant trauma to the nail bed prior to the surgical removal, that may result in the nail not growing back, or not growing back normal. But if the nail is surgically removed due to non-traumatic causes (such as a nail fungus), then the nail almost always grows back with no problems.

Can a fingernail grow back after the entire nail has been torn out?

If it is from injury (smashing) another one will grow back from way up underneath the nail bed. Its not a pretty thing until it grows out fully and can take months, up to a year. Some doctors will advise to take selenium supplements during the regrowth.


When does a toenail not grow back?

As long as the nail growth zone(some mm behind the cuticle) is OK, the nail should grow back. If there's serious damage to that area, the nail may not grow back at all, come back deformed, or only partially. But even if everything is OK, it can take some months before you see it at all, and a full year for complete replacement.

I stubbed my toe and a big piece of my tonail came of and it's SUPER SHORT now. i want to know how to make it grow back fast. please give me some tip's. thanks?

Just let your nail grow, DO NOT CUT IT! Over time the nail bed will grow back so long as there is nail there. If it was in your finger I would say it would take around 2 months (depending on the size of the nail that's come off) but toe nails take wayy longer. If your nail gets very long, just cut off the tip until its a good size but never cut it so deep that its going into the area where you want your nail bed to grow.


Will your nail regrow if the nail bed falls out completely?
