(Concern) My nails are tearing like paper📌

Is it a paper record?

 

It's not even scratched anywhere.

The sole is coming off again.

 

I think my nails have been weak since I was young.

They break easily, peel off like shells, and those areas lack strength in their nails, causing them to break and crack easily, which makes daily life quite inconvenient.

Nails get caught on clothes, and sometimes hair gets tangled while washing, causing inconvenience.

Where should I start with nail health?

Nails are always growing, so if you leave them alone, they'll grow back.

I just thought I could cut it with nail clippers, but cutting with nail clippers causes the nails to split into patches again, creating a continuous vicious cycle.

 

 

 

The fourth finger is particularly distinct with a clear line.

Nails can also split vertically.

 

 

At first, I was encouraged by my younger sibling to apply transparent nail polish, so I did.

Using transparent nail polish makes my nails feel like they are wearing a protective shield.

It felt like it was getting hard, so I applied it, then removed it after a few days, and repeated the routine.

Then, when acetone touches it, the hand turns white as if it has been burned.

If you use a lot of water, the transparent manicure will come off.

I remember that at those times, my nails also peeled off all at once, making things worse.

 

 

 

I visited a dermatology clinic because I thought it wasn't right.

 

Why do my fingertips crack, break, and peel off layer by layer?

 

I visited the dermatology clinic, but there wasn't much special to do.

 

In this case, it is necessary to suspect hyperthyroidism, which involves excessive secretion of thyroid hormones. As the disease name suggests, it is closely related to an abnormality in thyroid hormones that causes the body's metabolism to become more active, so I was advised to start with tests. However, the examination results showed no issues with the thyroid gland at all.

Additionally, if it's not a thyroid problem, an excessive diet could be the cause. When dieting excessively, leading to picky eating or rapid weight changes, the protein in your nails may become deficient, causing nails to crack and break.

I am the type whose weight doesn't change at all, so it's difficult to easily identify the cause of such a situation.

 

Doctor

 

If your nails are long, they may fall off more easily, so try to keep your nails short.

To prevent nails from becoming dry, use hand cream or nail cream, etc.

After using water, make sure to properly moisturize your fingertips.

Additionally,

Applying transparent nail polish makes the nails look thicker and stronger.

Because acetone, which erases thoughts, contains ingredients that weaken nails.

People like me with weak nails are told that applying it is not good.

 

Additionally, rather than doing household chores with bare hands, wear cotton gloves or rubber gloves.

Taking one vitamin B tablet daily is said to be helpful.

 

 

I found some tips for nail health care in daily life.

 

Applying moisturizer

 

Not only applying moisturizers like hand cream to your hands, but also...

Apply enough to the back of the hand and the nails.

It is recommended to frequently apply moisturizer whenever you feel dryness after washing your hands.

 

 

Applying Nail Strengthener

It is better to use a nail strengthener rather than transparent nail polish.

So, I purchased a coating enhancer from a nail supply store, applied it for a certain period, and then removed it again.

Apply consistently over a certain period, repeat the process, and minimize nail damage.

It is said to play a role in making it strong.

 

 

 

 

Maintain cleanliness

 

There is no way to describe how much time I spend using my hands during a day's routine.

Additionally, there are many places to touch here and there, and if your hands are dirty, there's a higher chance that your nails are also dirty.

They say it's good to keep your hands clean.

 

 

 

 

I'm curious if there are other methods besides the one I am using.

Please also share if you have any good methods.
