Toenail came off

i recently stubed my toe a few times in the last few months…recently the entire nail has come off.
How long before a new nail grows in, and should I keep it bandaged or unbandaged until a new one does come in?
thanks!-Kate

    If it is tender keep it covered and protected until is is painfree. Normal growth of a toe nail is 1 year from the root to the tip. When it is injured it grows faster though. It will look funny for a good while.
