Hi. The nail bed on my thumb is completely destroyed from acrylics and then an accident that made it worse. 2 questions...
1. Do you think it will ever grow back correctly...
2. Paint it or not???
Opinions? Thoughts?
The same thing happened to my left hand pointer finger. It got caught when closing a School door!
Leave it alone & it will eventually grow back, try NOT to damage the cuticle area & leave that alone too. It will grow out depending on how long your nails take to grow. Some people have nails that grow out quickly, but I noticed my damage finger nail grew out way slower. I lost the nail twice in 1 year due to acrylics. NEVER EVER let them (manicurist or do it yourself) soak off the acrylic as that does weaken the nail bed & knocking it by accident causes further damage to the nail bed. I know it's hard, but try to be patient with it. As I stated I lost mine twice in a year (due to soaking off acrylic & it's the only nail where I have a fake nail put on due to the damage), so I had no nail on it for over a year.
Put a little bit of cotton under each side, it will raise it enough so it does't grow into the skin. I do it when I have a an ingrown toenail.Yeah, the edges seem to be growing inward, and that drives me insane, so I end up cutting them off...
Here’s my thumb, 3 weeks ago my dog bite me and his teeth pierced my nail ( my fault , he is sick and in pain ) All I have done is put antibiotic ointment on it and nail formed over the hole, it’s kind of amazing. I’m just leaving it alone and seeing what happens.
It hurt like hell! It's almost half grown out. I can't believe the hole from the tooth grew over with nail. I have a scab at the cuticle I would love to pick off, but I am being good. How dod your other nails react to having the acrylics taken off?I bet that was painful. I hope it grows back!
Are your other nails growing out? Are they in good condition? I have a great nail hardener for you, it's a 2 part system which binds and penetrates the naill. After 2nd use I could feel a difference. I've been using it for 3 yrs. I slacked off using it, but am back on top of things again.I bet that was painful. I hope it grows back!
I don't use acrylics, ever. I use Impress press-on nails. I LOVE them.It hurt like hell! It's almost half grown out. I can't believe the hole from the tooth grew over with nail.

The stuff is called IBX, but reading you are allergic to gels might be a problem. First you put clear coat on and dry with a hairdryer on low. Second step you put the bonder on and that cures with the gel lamp. Your nails are natural matte when you finish both coats. It's the best stuff I have ever used for hardening one's nails. The bonder is what glues all of the nail layers together and provides strength. It's expensive but worth it, plus it lasts forever.What is it?
