Your nail will grow back! Just be careful that you do not catch the nail on anything for it will tear off - oouch --. Soak your foot in warm water and
let the nail loosen on its own, when its ready it will fall off. Your new nail will take time to grow in but it will grow in.
This happened to a lady at my cancer center and she even painted over
the nail while she was waiting for it grow in so it would match her other
toes. Just don't put nail polish on right away give your toe some time
to heal over when the nail does fall.
good luck
hug,
Jean
