At age 7, i had my big toe and tip (toenail) of the next toe cut off by a lawnmower. is it possible to grow a toenail out of a stub after 40 years? ive had pain in it for a few months and picked off what i thought was a callus, but was hard like a na?

: You should see a PODIATRIST for an exam and consult. Once a digit is cut off, it doesn't grow back. What you have left is fibrous tissue, which feels and looks like a callus.
