Will A Normal Toe Nail Grow From A Purple Nail Bed After Being Stubbed Hard?

About 3 months ago I stubbed my big toe really hard. It s black and blue under the nail still and along the nail bed. One corner is lifting up and not connected. Will it fall off soon and will the new nail be normal even though it s purple at the nail bed?

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
