What is the treatment method for problematic nails?

Have you ever experienced your fingertips splitting and becoming weak? I once damaged my nails after removing gel nails, which led to my nails breaking. I’m sharing my experience of treating problematic nails after seeing my mom’s nails splitting.

 

What are some problematic nails?

 

Surprisingly, there are many problematic nails. Nail ridges, splitting nails, ingrown nails where the nail grows into the skin, fungal infections causing athlete's foot in the nails, and discoloration of the nails all fall under problematic nails. If nothing is done, it is very difficult for them to return to normal. Treatment for problematic nails is necessary.

 

2. What are the causes of problematic nails that split?

 

After removing gel nails, I experienced my gel nails weakening my natural nails, causing them to split. I avoided gel nails altogether and kept applying nail strengtheners until my nails returned to normal. To treat problematic nails that split, it is important to identify and eliminate the underlying cause. The main cause of nail splitting is nutritional deficiency. Not wearing rubber gloves during dishwashing or cleaning can also be a contributing factor. Additionally, biting nails when stressed or tense can naturally damage the nails.

 

3. What can be done to treat problematic nails?

 

It is important to correct the underlying cause to treat problematic nails. Since nutritional deficiency is a major cause, adequate nutrition intake is essential. Foods rich in vitamin B, zinc, and iron should be consumed regularly. In the case of the mother, she purchased a high-dose vitamin B complex supplement and started taking one tablet daily consistently. Eating plenty of nuts, eggs, fish, fruits, and vegetables helps and has been part of her ongoing nutritional intake to treat problematic nails. Additionally, moisturizing the hands is also important, so she uses hand cream. Furthermore, she has started applying nutrients directly to the nails to treat problematic nails. Kerasil Nail, which is said to be good for nail splitting as a nutrient supplement, is being used consistently. It is in a liquid form that can be applied directly to the nails and dries quickly, which is convenient. Continuous application is necessary to see results.
