A member asked:
I bruised my fingernail when i slammed the door on it, it doesn't hurt anymore but will my nail fall off? and how long till it grows back if it does?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
it might: If the injury was enough to disrupt continuous growth of the nail plate - if it does fall off, the new nail may take 6-9 months to regrow.
