I have had my little toenail removed by my doctor last week. how long will it take to grow back and when will i be able to leave it uncovered?

Growing back: Nails grow very slowly approx. 2 mm per day. Slower than a snail's pace. 2nd you should talk with the doctor about his protocol for healing. Mine is when the nail bed is dry and no pain on direct palpation of little toe.

Toenail : Toenails grow at a very slow rate. Typically it's 2-6 months depending on which toenail to completely grow out. Post procedure, most doctors allow uncovering once the wound is healed (1-2 weeks) and the is no drainage to site. Hope this helped.

Normally for : A little toenail to grow out takes from 2-4 months. A big toenail can take a year so toenails are slow growing.
