A member asked:
What can i do if my toenail haven't grew back since 1996 i had surgery on it will it ever grow back?

Probably not: Sometimes the nail will grow back. However, after this length of time it probably won't.

Depends: It depends on whether the nail root was removed. After that many years, sounds like you had a permanent removal of the nail called a matrixectomy.
