How long does it take a toenail to grow back?

6-12 months for a full big toenail. Smaller toenails 4-6 months. Speed varies with age, circulation, and nutrition.

Will this affect other nails?

Trauma affects only the injured nail. Fungal infection can spread without treatment. Systemic causes affect multiple nails simultaneously.

Should I cover the nail or leave it open?
