Avatar n tn My big toenails are peeling from the end and then there is a darker horizontal discoloring back just a bit, then the rest of the nail looks normal. Can it be corrected with a vitamin regiment?
560684 tn?1306712545 like moderate pitting of the finger nails (this has been going on for the past 3 months), weaking of fingernails along with peeling of nails and itching of the pubic area - past 2 weeks(without any signs of pubic lice - but when i scratch the 'root' of the hairs have these small while things - almost like some sort of internal moist dandruff...the skin is fine though).
Avatar f tn Anyone have terrible fingernails with their VDD? I ask because for the past few years my nails have been very blah, the minute they start to grow they just split and peel. Now, I have noticed being on the VD for the past few weeks/months my nails finally seem to be growing slowly and not splitting or peeling, yet anyhow.
Avatar m tn While looking at the hair in my hand I noticed my fingernails had no cuticles! Feet are also affected. The skin between my nails and my knuckles on the back is peeling back from the nails. What could be the problem here. No cuticles for a month is a little nerve racking. My doc (GP) and several nurses are baffled as am I.

Avatar m tn I have vertical ridges on my thumbs as well and peeling fingernails and the peeling fingernails is due to being hypothyroid. So you might want to check your TSH level as well. Have you felt tired? The high blood pressure can change with going down on meat, and dairy products, no oil or fried foods and exercising more. If you are type 2 diabetic there is a diet that will reverse both of these but it is vegan and oil and fat free and takes a lot of work to get used to.
Avatar f tn I remember as a young child, when going to the doctor for a checkup, they always looked under my fingernails and I never knew why. I'm wondering now if peeling skin is what they were looking for. I have gone to many online forums and have seen problems like this posted by many people and not a single person said that going to a dermatologist has helped. None of the ointments, lotions, or pills that have been prescribed to them have helped (same with me).
745313 tn?1323142298 Mine are awful! They are like paper, thin, peeling, and constantly ripping, even though they are cut completely short. I'm afraid to put on acrylics, for fear of ripping one off or something, plus they damage your nails pretty badly too. I've tried the brush on strengtheners, and the brush on wrap stuff from Sally Hansen - but I think it makes it worse. Anyone had this problem? Any ideas?
Avatar f tn t think they can run any tests cause she was buried las week. she was 39 weeks, but then why was her skin peeling off, and her fingernails were purple, and she was sent home already dilating?
Avatar n tn Hello, Various possibilities for peeling fingertips are trauma and allergic or irritant contact dermatitis, contact with harsh detergents, soaps and lotions that contain perfume can cause hands and fingertips to become irritated and peel. Sometimes cold, dry air can cause peeling and dermatitis or fungal infections can also cause peeling. Wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites.
Avatar n tn Over time, all my fingers began to do the same thing. Now, all my fingers (and thumbs) are peeling, and the palm of my left hand is too. There is also pitting on both index fingernails and my left thumb nail. On top of that, I had a friend tell me my fingers look swollen. The 2 toes closest to my big toes are peeling as well, and my left elbow was very dry and looked like plaque. The peeling on my hands started as what looked like little blisters.
Avatar f tn I can feel the pain, but touch feels strange in that finger now. The skin is peeling and the area keeps getting larger. On top of that, blisters keep forming right where the skin is peeling and when they pop, I get these little, open sores all over the area which adds to the pain. Any idea?????? It almost feels like a burn, but I never burned it on anything!
Avatar m tn I am experiencing different symptoms 2-3 months after; Cold sores, swollen glands and red tenderness with some skin peeling around my fingernails. I'm worried to death, but I know I have to wait 3 months to get tested. Just kinda wondering what my odds are I guess. I hope you can reasure me somehow. Please let me know.
Avatar f tn For almost ten years now the skin around my nails has been peeling off. It is large, thick chunks of skin. It is very bad on my thumbs and mostly just around the base of my fingernails on all fingers. After the skin peels off my fingers are red but it just grows back and peels again. When my hands are in water the skin turns bright white like my skin is soaking up as much water as it can. There is no pain or sores when it peels. Also, my nails are not affected by this.
Avatar f tn I realized that all of her fingernails were connected lower than usual, and after cutting them all down, I noticed the skin on every digit beginning to lift. Now, her fingers are still peeling, her heels and toes are doing the same thing, and the tops her her hands are beginning to peel. What is going on here? Should I be concerned?
Avatar n tn my 6 year olds feet are very dry and peeling and a few days later a small dry spot on his hand (bottom of palm) strated to be dry and now is peeling all over his palm.
Avatar f tn The doctor says my thyroid hormone levels fluctuates as do my symptoms. My fingernails are the worst and I am so very tired and weak. They are very soft and thin with ridges. I thought the synthyroid was supposed to help with these issues. Am I wrong and is something else going wrong This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/263637'>Fingernails indicative of thyroid problems?</a>.

Avatar f tn Lamisil oral granules are used to treat a fungal infection of scalp hair follicles in children who are at least 4 years old. It is important to take this medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take it in larger amounts or for longer than recommended. Lamisil granules should be sprinkled into a spoonful of pudding or mashed potatoes (do not mix with applesauce, fruit juice, or other acidic foods). The Lamisil granule mixture should be taken with a meal.
Avatar f tn Vegetables are very important! Especially dark green leafy vegetables and broccoli. If you're not eating your vegetables, you likely have a nutritional deficiency. It's good you're addressing it now, though, because as you age, this becomes more and more important. You're about to enter puberty, so these vegetables are even more important when you start menstruating.
Avatar f tn Aubagio I went off because of my skin peeling, fingernails peeling, and general all over not well. My hair fell out alot, ( I was told a bit more than your hairbrush) after you brush your hair. Well, I have been off it for 2 months not, was only on 7 weeks, and my hair is still coming out in handfuls. I hope this helps, are you taking Gabapentin , baclofen or anything like that ??? Hope this doesn't scare you, but YOU are the best Dr. of YOU !!!
