Getting new nails: People can get new or partially new nails after an infection or other stressful event one's body. The new nails should be connected under the old nails at the base of the nails. Sometimes a stressful event was just stressful enough to slow nail growth for a week or two... and then one might see a depressed line across each nail that eventually grows out. If worried, can show nails to one's doctor.
