Hi,
There is vertical crack till the root in the index finger of my wife's hand. As the nail grows the crack is growing. It has been past 4 months and still the crack is not filled. Please consult.

Best approach for this would be a surgical removal of nail under local anaesthesia and inspection of the nail bed. If there is any issue with the nail bed, it can be corrected. A new nail will come in 2-3 months which will be healthy.
