What Causes Dryness And Splitting Up Of Finger Nails?
My fingernails are dry, cracking, splitting, have ridges. They have been deteriorating for several years. This past year seems worse. Is this a sign of some other health issue. I wash my hands many many times per day. Try to use coconut oil on the hands and nails 3 to 4 times a day. Is there a treatment for the nails?
