My finger got squeezed in a sliding door and the nail broke right in the middle horizontally but not fully off, it bled for a long time and eventually stopped. There’s a deep chunk that needs to grow back and reconnect the top and base of the nail.
I’ve been covering it with kerasal multi purpose nail repair band aids, it’s getting better verrry slowly. Anyone know how long something like this takes to heal? Thank you!

More like a year for full growth and health of the nail. It’s a really long time as i recall but, it does grow back.

It could take 3-6+ months. Just be patient. The good news is that it is growing back/you’re seeing improvement already.
The existing nail will continue to grow out as a new nail grows from the base of your nail. Unfortunately it’s just a waiting game.

Neosporin may help accelerate healing but likely not the nail growth. For that you might want to consider a biotin supplement.

I’d also let it breath as much as you can so it can get oxygen to heal - instead of continuously keeping it wrapped in a bandaid.

It’s hard to picture exactly what you’re dealing with based on your description. Damaged/injured nails tend to be frail and prone to falling off. I smashed my fingernail in a door and it bled under the nail, turning the whole nail dark redish purple from the blood under it. It probably took 6 months for the blood (which was at the base of the nail until the end) to fully work its way through and the nail to look normal again. Looked like I painted only one fingernail for the longest time. My nail did not fall off
