Unhappy Just about to lose a toenail...

Hi all,

I hope this topic doesn't gross anyone out. In the middle of last October, one of my randori partner's knees came down hard on my right big toe. The toenail dug in and cut the skin underneath it, and my toe was sore for a week or two.

Since then, the toe has gotten better, but the toenail didn't look too good. Now, three months or so later, the toenail is just about to fall off. I think this is a good thing because a new toenail should be growing in to replace it (which I think is happening already).

For those who have had this happen (and I know you're out there):

1) How long did it take for the new nail to grow in?

2) How do you protect your toe while the nail is off?

Thanks in advance,

----
