How long does it take for a fingernail to grow out of the quick when broken?

Question

how long does it take your fingernails to grow out of the quick. i just broke my nail into the quick, ouch, how long til it grows out of the sore quick

Answer 1

In a couple of weeks. You can get some aloe vera 100% gel OTC and if you apply it over the area and the whole nail especially the matrix the nails  will grow faster. Taking a little biotin about 30 mg will also help the nails, found with the vitamins OTC  and the OUCH  will be gone faster.

Answer 2

I hate it when that happens!!!  I usually put a bit of antibiotic ointment and cover the quick with a band-aid.  The tenderness is gone in a day or two, then if you can just leave it alone (which I cant!) it will grow to showing white tip within a couple of weeks.  (different for everyone)
