Restoring a toenail after removal

Beautiful nails make hands and feet look neat and well-groomed; in addition, nail plates have a protective function and protect the nail bed from injury. In the area of ​​the nail bed there are nerve endings and blood vessels that are responsible for the sensitivity of the fingers.

Sometimes there are situations when the nail needs to be removed, there are many reasons for this. In this case, the nail plate begins to grow back, trying to close the nail bed again. Many patients are interested in how quickly the nail will recover and how to make it beautiful and smooth. Proper care after the procedure will help with this.

Reasons for nail removal

The nail is removed only if there is an urgent need for this. Removal may be indicated in the following case:

  • For infections of the nail plate, when conservative treatment does not bring the desired effect. If the infection involves the nail bed, the plate may be removed to treat the skin underneath;
  • Part of the nail may be removed if it is ingrown;
  • Also, removal of a nail may be indicated after an injury, when a hematoma has formed under it. They can also remove part of the nail that does not hold well, for example, after a strong blow.
  • The nail can be removed using a laser, or the doctor can cut the plate manually. There are also chemical removal methods; in this case, a special product is applied to the nail that dissolves it. The most painful is manual removal.

    Recovery duration

    Many people are interested in how to restore nails quickly, and how long they generally take to grow after removal. Restoring nails takes a long time, so it is better for the patient to be patient and take good care of the nails so that they grow smooth and beautiful and do not become deformed later.

    The injured nail bed takes about two weeks to heal, and the nail will grow completely only after 4 months on average. Of course, the rate of nail growth depends on the characteristics of the human body. It is worth paying attention to whether enough nutrients are supplied to the body and whether blood circulation in the nail area is impaired.

    It is also worth noting that young people's nails grow much faster than older people's. Active growth of nail plates is also observed in the summer and in pregnant women. It is quite possible to accelerate the growth of a removed nail if you take good care of it and provide it with good nutrition.

    High-quality nail care after removal will help quickly restore it and prevent deformation. It is very important to walk carefully so as not to damage the nail bed, otherwise the plate will grow crookedly, may ripple or shift. This complication is not only a cosmetic defect, but can also cause an ingrown toenail in the future.

    After the operation, you should follow the following recommendations:

  • It is necessary to regularly change dressings using sterile materials, and hands must also be thoroughly sterilized using an alcohol solution.
  • It is not recommended not to wet the wound in the first days;
  • It is necessary to protect the sore leg from impacts so as not to injure the nail bed;
  • You need to walk so as not to put all your weight on your sore leg;
  • During the wound healing period, you can only wear loose shoes that do not squeeze the toe;
  • Until the finger has healed, you need to avoid physical education activities that require the lower limbs, that is, you should not run or jump;
  • You should wear cotton socks to allow your skin to breathe, and be sure to change them at least 2 times a day;
  • If pain bothers you, you need to take a painkiller, and your doctor will help you choose the right one.
  • After the wound has healed, you can stop making bandages and you are allowed to put weight on your leg. But the vulnerable toe needs to be protected from injury, so in the summer it is not recommended to wear open-toed shoes, otherwise you can trip over a stone and injure the nail bed.

    It is also not recommended to smear the skin with nail polish to hide the defect, glue artificial nails and extend them. Such actions will certainly lead to deformation of the new plate; it must be protected by giving up cosmetics during the growth period.

    It is very important to adjust your diet so that the nail recovers faster. It needs sufficient nutrients such as calcium, silicon, vitamins B and A, as well as iron, sulfur and iodine. By the way, diets that force you to limit fats and proteins slow down the growth of the plate, so you need to give them up and eat a balanced diet.

    Products for plate growth:

  • Dairy products, cheeses, cottage cheese;
  • Sesame, nuts, pumpkin seeds;
  • Fatty fish and seafood, seaweed;
  • Carrots, cabbage, cucumbers, which are best consumed fresh, as well as zucchini;
  • Persimmon, avocado;
  • Buckwheat and oatmeal.
  • These products accelerate the growth of nails, making them strong, beautiful and shiny. If you eat several products from the list every day, the removed plate will recover much faster, as evidenced by reviews from many patients. Nutrition plays the most important role in the beauty of nails, as they grow from the inside.

    Many patients complain that after removal of the nail plate it grows deformed. Most often, this is a temporary phenomenon and is associated with the procedure itself and the inflammatory process that occurred in the tissues. Over time, the plate straightens on its own and grows smooth if it is properly cared for and not constantly damaged.

    During the period of growth of the plate, you should not make it smooth with a file; you can overdo it, then it will become very thin and begin to break, causing a lot of inconvenience. Also, you can’t extend or paint your nails with decorative varnishes; you need to wait for complete recovery.

    To strengthen your nails, you can use various cosmetics from the pharmacy, for example, smart enamel. It nourishes the plate well and will speed up the elimination of deformation; in addition, under the enamel, the nails look beautiful, healthy and shiny, the relief becomes less noticeable.

    If a lot of time has passed after the operation, and the plate is still growing crookedly and does not recover on its own, you need to consult a doctor again. In this case, a consultation with a podologist will help, who will perform a hardware pedicure and, if necessary, install an orthopedic plate.

    Many people are interested in how to restore nails at home. After removing a nail, you can use folk remedies for quick healing, relief of inflammation and pain. Before using the product, it is better to consult a doctor and make sure that you are not allergic to its components. It is also not recommended to mix pharmaceutical and folk remedies with each other; they must be applied one at a time.

    • Herbal baths have excellent healing and anti-inflammatory effects. As soon as the wound heals, you can carry out this procedure 2-3 times a week. To do this, brew a herb, for example, chamomile, sage or string, filter the decoction and pour it into warm water. The feet are immersed in the bath for 15 minutes.
    • When the nail has already begun to grow, natural salt baths will help strengthen it. For 500 ml you need to take 4 tablespoons of natural sea salt without dyes and flavors. Repeat the procedure 3 times a week.
    • 2 times a week you need to apply iodine to the cuticle with a cotton swab in a thin layer. This product will help speed up the growth of nails and make them healthy and beautiful.
    • To make a weak nail strong, you need to lubricate it every day with grape seed oil or natural olive oil, you can also add essential oils, for example, orange.
    • If the nail grows very slowly, it is thin and peeling, a lemon mask will help. To do this, apply a piece of lemon to the nail and secure it with a bandage, leave for 15 minutes, then rinse the skin with water.
    • It is important to note that all folk remedies can be used only after the wound has completely healed. Until this moment, the nail bed should be covered with a sterile bandage, and only ointments, for example, levomikol, can be applied to the wound, and only if this is recommended by the doctor.

      I dreamed that I met someone I liked in the past. He is interested in Eastern philosophy and practices Eastern practices. He invited me into the room where he meditates and unexpectedly performed some kind of ritual in relation to me. I don’t remember what exactly, but I remember that I saw his big toe. What was surprising was that the finger was not just clean, like a child’s, but well-groomed, one might even say beautiful! While communicating with him, I suddenly remembered that we had known each other before, but I rejected his advances because he was married and had 2 children, and I was friends with his wife. I used to have such principles that I rejected all married men. I woke up under the impression of a dream, but in my life there was no one like him!
