Question

If the matrix is damaged, will the nail grow back even though it may be abnormal?

Answer 1

Answer: yes

Explanation: In most cases, the nail will grow back from the area under the cuticle (the matrix). A fingernail takes about 4 to 6 months to grow back. A toenail takes about 12 months to grow back. If the nail bed or matrix was damaged, the nail may grow back with a rough or abnormal shape.
