Lost a toe nail due to injury and it grew back deformed

[Black_Cat88]

I lost a toe nail a few tears back due to injury and it grew back deformed: 1. It is not as firmly attached to the toe as the nail on the other foot. 2. It grew extremely thick. It’s not possible to cut it with scissors and not with a clipper.
I went to the doctor and he told me that this is something that happens sometimes when a new toe nail grows and that there’s nothing to do about it, and it’ll just stay that way forever. I want to know if it’s true and that there’s really nothing to be done to return in to normal.

I lost my big toe nail before. I think a lot of people do. It was ugly before it finally fell off due to the injury. Mine also came back funky. Thicker and had like a bubble in the middle of it. My doctor said that the nail bed can be damaged and so it grows back wrong. Sometimes forever, sometimes not. It also can be a fungus that you have that you don't realize. Your doctor looked at it but these are also fungus symptoms to just be aware of. My nail actually eventually grew to the right shape but always was very thick after (CAN cut it with nail scissors though) but is almost like an area between the nail bed and the nail is always there on one side. I just paint them. Keep them trimmed and paint them. Toes are a pain in the butt.
