Any Suggestion For No Thumbnail Growth After Removing Nail Due To Infection?
a cut on the cuticle of my thumbnail got infected about 10 years ago and the nail was removed in the ER.....the nail has never grown back normal.....there s no longer really a cuticle, it s super weak and slightly indented.....wondering if there is anything I can do to correct this and to get back a healthy nail!

It's simple. During nail removal the nail bed is damaged permanently. Don't hope for it to grow as it must have scarred by now
