Cuticles detaching
Cuticles become dry and dark and detach from nails. Bleeding if it hits somewhere accidentally. Is it any deficiency? I get this problem occasionally.

hello there.
yes brittle nails can be a sign of dietary deficiencies like calcium deficiency.
but there are a lot of other things which can cause same problem.
for that a physical examination is required.
consult a dermatologist to arrive at a exact diagnosis.
