Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
Continue using cutemol cream and nail varnish.
Also try to wear gloves while washing clothes and utensils and avoid trauma to the nails.
Besides this in such cases I recommend my patients to take tablet biotin 10 mg once daily for atleast 10-12 weeks.
This should help you.
