Product Information

They are usually due to trauma, but can be secondary to a number of conditions including psoriasis, tinea, and most importantly subacute bacterial endocarditis In adults the most common systemic association is with iron deficiency and haemochromatosis, although the majority of adults with koilonychia demonstrate a familial pattern Patients should take good care of their feet by washing, frequent airing, and wearing sensible footwear Apple cider vinegar: Apple cider vinegar can help restore the pH balance of your nails and prevent fungal infections. You can soak your nails in a mixture of equal parts of apple cider vinegar and warm water for 15–20 minutes, and then rinse with warm water. Apple cider vinegar can really boost nail health.

Any number of traumatic events can cause a small or large split. If the injury is severe, it may also affect the nail bed. In some cases, you can use fingernail glue (typically used to attach fake nails or tips) to reattach the broken part of your nail. Nails are typically short, with up to 50% of the nail bed exposed. The free edge may be even or ragged. Surface change may include splitting of the nail into layers Over time (usually several months) there is normal proximal nail growth, and a gradual distal drift of the pigmentIncreased transverse and longitudinal nail curvature with hypertrophy of the soft‐tissue components of the digit pulp Findings include pits, distal and lateral onycholysis, 'oil-drops', subungual hyperkeratosis, an uneven nail surface, paronychia, transverse midline depressions in the thumbnails, and occasionally splinter haemorrhages You can improve the health of your brittle nails by following a balanced diet, drinking plenty of water, avoiding harsh chemicals, and trying natural remedies such as olive oil, tea tree oil, and apple cider vinegar.

Characterised by the distal free end of the nail splitting into layers. It is seen more commonly in women, and is generally associated with frequent immersion in water Fingers and fingernails are easy to injure. People can catch them in doors, pinch them under a heavy object, or catch them on something and cause a rip. Using tweezers, attach the tape to your nail so that it covers the entire torn or broken area. Press it down gently to make sure it’s firmly affixed to the nail.The best way to strengthen your nails is just to give them a break. Avoid wearing nail polish for several months to let the nail layers regenerate, and wear gloves when you do the dishes to avoid exposing your nails repeatedly to chemicals and soap. If you spend a lot of time in water, try keeping your hands as dry as possible, and avoid pruney fingers next time you take a bath! If you already have ridges, massage a dab of vitamin E oil into your nails twice a day to help make them appear less prominent, or grab a buffing board next time you're at the pharmacy and buff them away. 5 . Blue tint Subungual hyperkeratosis - excessive scaling under the nail. This is often due to a fungal infection or psoriasis. Warts, and rarely a squamous cell carcinoma, can produce a scaly mass under the nail Onycholysis - the distal and/or lateral separation of the nail plate from the nail bed. Psoriatic onycholysis can be considered the reference point for other forms of onycholysis and is typically distal (ie affecting the free margin of the nail), with variable lateral involvement. Isolated islands of onycholysis present as ‘oil spots’ or ‘salmon patches’ in the nail bed. All the other common causes of onycholysis are associated with diminished adherence of the nail plate to the nail bed as a primary (idiopathic) or secondary event: the latter include trauma, fungal infection, eczema, and drug reactions
