REPLIED Check Mark

 Nail growth and appearance may be affected by a variety of problems. Nail bed injuries may heal uneventfully or may produce dramatic chronic deformities. Following nail plate removal, the finger must be protected from strenuous use or irritating chemicals for at least two weeks. Recovery is slow, and at least six months should pass before judging the final effect on nail growth.
