Bruise: A bruise to the nail area usually results in blood from the bruise staining the nail itself. This takes time to resolve. As the average human big toenail takes 9 to 12 months to grow all the way out . See your podiatrist for any problems.

It will cure itself: It will take time to grow out so that you can trim away the damaged part. Remember it takes almost 1 year for a toenail to grow from base to tip of toe.
