I cracked my nail during gym today (which sucks).
So according to this diagram that i found on Wikipedia, i seem to have cracked my "nail groove".
see here --> http://i10.tinypic.com/4gq6891.jpg
So bascially my nail is still in place except that theres a crack where the red line is (in the diagram) and it was bleeding. Im also missing a piece off the corner & it hurts...
Now my question is... WIll it grow back?! and be normal again?... about how long would it take? =( Im very worried.

I cracked my nail kinda like that in third grade, and it healed. What I did was put a gauze pad over it and taped it on with medical tape, and I also put Neosporin on it. It healed in... a month?? I don't really remember... -.-'
Hope it gets better!

It should grow back normal. Lots of people loose nails for one reason or another and they grow back. It will take several months so you need to be patient. All my nails were damaged by chemotherapy 3 years ago. They took a while to regrow but now are just like before.

it will improve back commonly used. many human beings unfastened nails for one reason or yet another and that they improve back. it is going to take various months so for you to wait and notice. All my nails have been broken via chemotherapy 3 years in the past. They took a jointly as to regrow yet now are in simple terms like till now.

dont worry, my friend slammed her thumb in a car door (by accident) and she broke her thumb. A couple days later her fingernail fell completely off, like no nail left at all. This took a month or two to grow back completley so i am sure you will be fine
drink a butt load of milk for it to go faster

it will take as long as the area of where the nail is broke grows out=make sure you keep the area clean so you don't get infection=it all depends on how fast your nails grow too
