The nail and fleshy part of mine points about 15 degrees from straight in comparison with my second toe.

The big toe, like all other toes, grows through a process called ossification. This is when cartilage in the toe hardens and turns into bone, allowing the toe to increase in size and length.
The growth of the big toe can be affected by several factors, including genetics, nutrition, and physical activity. Genetic factors can determine the size and shape of the toe, while proper nutrition and physical activity can support healthy growth.
Yes, the big toe, like all other body parts, will eventually stop growing after reaching a certain point. This typically occurs during adulthood, but some people may experience continued growth due to certain medical conditions.
The exact time it takes for the big toe to reach its full size can vary from person to person. On average, the big toe stops growing around the age of 18-20, but it can continue to develop until the early 20s.
No, unfortunately, the big toe cannot grow back if it is lost or amputated. Once the toe is removed, the body cannot regenerate it. However, there are prosthetic options available that can help with mobility and balance.
