Question
How do a care for my big toe, now that the toe nail has fallen off?  I injured it once running and then it was stepped on.  I then knew it was the end of keeping my toenail.
How long will it take to grow back?
Thank you

Answer
If the nail came off with no pain or bleeding, there is nothing that needs to be done.  If there was minimal pain or bleeding, apply neosporin and a dressing.  Other than that, visit a podiatrist.

A great toenail takes about 9 months to regrow.

All the best,
