Nail Health Issue
I've been experiencing significant issues with my nails recently. They are becoming unusually thick, with the skin underneath hardening and peeling upward. Additionally, my nails are brittle, breaking easily, and have changed color, turning a dark yellow to blackish hue. They feel hollow and fragile, lacking strength. This condition has progressively worsened, causing discomfort and concern. I suspect it could be due to a fungal infection, nutritional deficiency, or other underlying health conditions. I am seeking professional advice to understand the exact cause and appropriate treatment to restore my nails' health and prevent further damage.
