Doing some home remodeling something fell on my fingernail and cut it in half - how does it regrow?
Jared M asked:
Doing some home remodeling something fell on my fingernail and cut it in the middle from one side to the other - so it cut it in half so that there is a bottom half (above cuticle sp?) and a top half. how will it regrow? will the bottom half grow over the top? will the top half fall off eventually? will they mend back together? thanks!

nail grows from the cuticle. the broken end will eventually fall off, and maybe the bottom too. if you haven;t damaged the cuticle it will be completely normal in 6 months.
