Hey guys. I cut one of my nails too short and it separated from the skin at the top with some raw flesh showing. Does anyone have experience with this? I am wondering how long it will take to heal.
 
Are you like ten...?

Less then a week for pain to go away/numb..

Everything is better just a short nail.

First time cutting your nails right? Mom just stopped?
 
You've got to just rip the whole thing off, like a bandaid. It grows back in a few weeks good as new and with barely any pain.
 
However long it takes to regrow a fingernail. Why are you desperately trying to save a fingernail? A split a fingernail isn't going to suddenly regrow together. Fingernails are essentially the same thing as hair once they leave the inside of the body they're no longer alive.
 
I drilled sliced through a nail about a month and a half ago right at the top of the nail. It’s just now getting to the end of the finger and growing out.

I basically clear coated the nail to protect the nail and pulp. Should be healed up in a week or so.
 
I spoke to a guy I know who I'm pretty sure is a doctor, he said usually these cases are terminal.
 
Split fingernail? That means you have AIDS. Yes, I am a doctor.
 
The best healing remedy for this is to fingerblast yourself.
 
You came to the right place because this is a house of learned doctors.
 
Don't get fungus in there. Might be permanent damage.
