If you hit your nail hard or if it got stuck, your nail sometimes falls off. How is that possible and does the nail still grow back?
Your nails need blood to grow. Thanks to the circulation, your nail bed receives essential substances to help your nails grow. If your nail gets stuck, the blood supply is disrupted. In some cases, your current nail can no longer recover and it will fall off.
Fortunately, there is good news:in most cases, the nail just grows back. It may take a while. If your nail bed and matrix are severely damaged, it could affect your new nail, for example it could be permanently deformed.
