Eli5: why do toenails grow at a much slower pace than our fingernails?
In: Biology
Pretty sure the primary reason is blood supply. If you get a cut on your foot it takes waaaay longer to heal. I had a mole biopsies on my foot and the skin fully healed for about 4 months and didn’t start fading from a dark purple for about a year. Other places I’ve had biopsied have been good to go in a month or less and the color starts fading much quicker.
