Brittle Nails

2022-05-18 13:22:57
Hello doctor. I have attached images of my nails. My nails are always brittle and they appear to be dead. They have vertical ridges and bend easily. They grow uneven thickness as well. I also have black skin around cuticles. I don't have a clue why is this. Can you please guide? Thanks
