Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM

You seem to be suffering from brittle nails/thinned nails.

The reason might be manicuring causing damage to the nails OR Dietary deficiency.

I advice my patients with brittle and thin nails to take an oral Biotin supplement for 2-3 months. That usually solves the problem.

take care
