slow growth toenail

[MR.C]

My toenail was hurt playing sports about a year ago. There is no pain but the nail has a bruise below. Problem is that the nail does not grow much, what can I do to make it grow quicker ?

Had the same problem. Mine took six years to come right and is only fine now.

At times it went blue under the nail and also bled with physical activity. The front part (midway) was not properly attached and at the same spot as where the nail grew there was a ridge in the nail.
Doctors did not know what to do. One day while surfing I ripped the nail 3/4 of the way off from the nail bed so it was flapping Had to have it extracted in hospital, boy those injections were fsck sore, if I knew about the pain I would have just ripped the nail out myself without a local.

After the nail was extracted it finally started coming right. In one front corner the nail is not attached to the nail bed properly but it's 99% right.

Bottom line, it's gonna take take time & a possible extraction

Take a plier and rip it out... You'll have pain for a few days and then it will be fine..

Last year sometime I was running up the stairs that had aluminum edging, I was wearing sandals and slipped... My whole nail came loose, I pulled it out after a few days as part of the 'root' was already out..

It took about 6 months before it came right and not it looks as if nothing happened..
