Hi... Please stop using extension for a while. Apply clear nail polish to entire nail including the surrounding skin so as to cover your nailfold gaps. Do not wash or dip your hand in hot water as it damages the nail surface and the surrounding skin.
Next Steps
if you need further advise then get in touch with me via Juvenis Clinic in Mumbai for a video consultation.
