Friday foot fact

Ever have a toenail injury that's taking forever to heal and just doesn't seem to grow out?

The reason is probably because our toenails do take a long time to grow.  It takes a total of 12-18 months for the nail to be completely grown out or replaced and they usually grow at 1 millimeter per month. So be patient with them and let time do it's course of nature.

Our fingernails do grow a bit quicker at a rate of replacing itself completely from 4 to 6 months. That's why we cut our fingernails a lot more often than than our toenails. Keep in mind that nails and hair grow more quickly in the summertime than winter and that's a Friday foot fact!

Remember to put your best foot forward everyone and have a great Father's Day weekend!
