Why does finger nails grow faster than toe nail??

Depending on who you listen to, fingernails grow two to three times faster than toenails. A fingernail replaces itself in about six months; a toenail takes a year. Feet are farthest afield in the circulatory scheme of things. A better blood supply to the fingers probably keeps them chugging along at a faster clip. Genetics plays a role too. Nails are basically protective, and since our fingers are busier than our toes, maybe they're more likely to get smashed and need replacing.





There is some speculation that fingernails' constant exposure to sun and air may aid their growth. Feet are locked up in damp, dark shoes most of the time, a more encouraging environment for cultivating fungus and smells instead of nails.Why does finger nails grow faster than toe nail??

Probably because they get used more so they need to be replaced faster.
