can control: Lack of hydration, vitamin deficiency (especially B-complex, zinc or iron), or frequent exposure to aggressive chemicals and water.
When to see a doctor (dermatologist):
Horizontal grooves (so-called Beau’s lines): Lines running across the nail across the width can signal an interruption in nail growth due to a serious illness, high fever, infection, severe stress or nutrient deficiency.
Dark (brown or black) stripe: A vertical dark stripe on one nail can be a sign of a pigmented mole, but in the worst case, subungual melanoma (skin cancer).
Associated changes: If the nail begins to significantly split, change color (yellow, green), separate from the bed or cause pain.
How to improve the condition of your nails?
Adequate hydration: Regularly use cuticle oils (e.g. almond or argan) and moisturizing hand cream.
Balanced diet: Focus on foods rich in biotin (vitamin B7), zinc, iron, omega-3 fatty acids and proteins.
Protection: Wear
