Hello
Welcome to healthcare magic forum.
Thank you for your query.
I am Dr Gaurav Patel,dermatologist.
I understand your concern regarding your skin problem.
It is difficult to comment only from detail.
It may be related to medicine but we have to rule out other skin condition causing damage to nail.
You need to apply good barrier cream.
Calcium level also take into consideration.
Better to consult dermatologist and start proper medicine.
In nail you need to take medicine for 6-8 month.
Keep them dry and clean.
I hope I answered your question.
Wish you speedy recovery.
Regards,
I find this answer helpful
