Suggest Treatment For Brittle Fingernails
My problem is with fingernails. My thumbnails are extremely strong but on the four fingers of each hand the nails peel in layers. PS my toenails are hard as rocks too. My thumbnails are exposed to anything that the other nails are so why can I grow thumb nails but not fingernails. This has only been the last couple of years. Any suggestions.
