Wait to heal: You apparently have sought medical advice for the injury. Look out for infection that may present as pain, swelling, discharge, discoloration, or deformity. If there is any sign of infection, see your doctor. Otherwise let nature take its course. It may take 3 months for the nail to grow back. Get HPV vaccine Wish you good health!
