A member asked:

I had on acrylic nails and i broke my nail bed in half (injury), right now my nail bed is very short and i was wondering if its gonna grow back to normal. i have a little fungus. ive used tea tree oil. so will that go away too? or is this permanent?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A little fungus is not a useful statement. If there is fungal infection of the exposed nail bed you should try an over the counter antifungal cream. If that does not resolve the issue in a week or so, it would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!
