A member asked:
I had a fungal nail infection and treated with oral lamisil (terbinafine). two nails grew out nicely, two aren't growing at all. can they be permanently damaged?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely.: Damaged or not, the nails should continue to grow. The thickness of nails can be due to fungus as well as injury and sometimes both. The nail growth can be stunted at times but they will continue to grow unless the root has been permanently destroyed or removed. You would be best served with a thorough evaluation including past nail treatments.
