A member asked:

If you slam your finger in a door and your nail falls off how long will it take till the new one grows?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Trauma: If you're lucky enough to still have some living matrix at the end of the finger, and most times this occurs you definitely are that lucky, the nail should grow back in a matter of many months. It just takes a long time because that nail, once established, only grows 2 mm a month on the fingers and 1 mm a month on the toes.
