Problem in nails

2017-04-02 18:13:46
Dr. My nails are getting black and shineless. These are also weak and dull, breaking from uppermost side and paining also. I don't use any kind of nail-paints. Please suggest me what is the reason behind this and what should i do for this.

Discolouration and brittleness of nails as you described could be because of many reasons. Most commonly fungal infections or eczema can be the causes. Both can be treated but unless someone examines you it is verydifficult to come to a diagnosis. Please send photos for proper examination and detailed prescription. Do not self treat.
