A member asked:
I split the top of my toe open & cracked my nail 2 days ago. its not deep, looks much better, but i have a beach trip in 5 days. will it heal by then?

Nope: Nail injuries require the entire damaged nail to grow out (which is 5-6 months for toenails). You can try crazy glue to hold it together if there isn't any redness, discharge or sign of infection. Hope that helps
