A member asked:

How long does it take a bruised nail to heal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nail bruise: Depends on which nail. Fingernails grow faster than toenails. Also depends on age since older age takes longer for nails to grow. Plan on 4-6 weeks for fingernail and 6-12 months for toenail.
