Avatar n tn you could be lacking vitam E C and or B and that is what causes your nails to break quite easily. depending on how deep the split is you migth have to get it checked out beause it could hit a nerve, open and cause infection.
Avatar f tn 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.

2178116 tn?1337609281 t really have symptoms other than ridges on the finger nails with some wanting to split, weight gain, heart rate sometimes in the 40s. I am generally in good health and active. Any suggestions? I don't want it to keep heading in the wrong direction.
Avatar f tn yeah all opiates cause severe dryness, itching, and general skin irritation.I cant honestly tell you what exactly chemically causes opiates to directly cause the severe itching and dryness that the skin endures but every single opiate/opioid has those side-effects the more potent the opiate the more severe the itching will get. People that generally have dry skin will have more irritation and the itchies whereas those with very moist skin have less side-effects from them.
Avatar m tn It's really hard to say. Do you have really short fingernails or longer ones? It could have cut her. But it could also be the hymen. If so just using your fingers may not have completely severed it which would explain why she bled again the second time.
745313 tn?1323142298 The center (from side to side) is soft as can be and brittle, they split but the sides are hard so I end up with rounded wear gouges that I can't keep up with. They look like cr@p not that it really matters.
Avatar f tn said in the evening, but I heard it causes insomnia if taken that late. Also, should I take the whole dose at once or split it in half?
Avatar n tn The second possibility would be the finger having been hit and sustaining some damage that causes the nail to grow looking different. Next set of suggestions is along the lines of a zinc deficiency. Though the way a zinc shortage appears in the nails more often is ridging or flaking, they can also apparently come out orange. You could try increasing your zinc intake. (If you take a supplement, don't go wild and take too much; just one a day.
Avatar f tn Has anyone had fingernails split down middle? What does 9,430,000 iu - 6.
Avatar m tn Now what? They hurt when you push on them, but I don't remember hitting them hard enough to cause this kind of bruise. I see my hepatologist for the big decision on when to treat and with what. I hope it's not still whether to treat, unless it is because someone else posted that another really good drug is getting FDA approval in August. Should I show them to him or call my regular doctor? Meanwhile, my fingernails are getting "wavy" and one is split down the middle.
Avatar m tn i was not fully erected. so she compressed my penis glan with her fingernails hardly to put it into her vagina. and then we had vaginal sex. i was wearing condom. but she compressed my glan so hardly. condom was not broken, but it might have small slits maybe i dont know. the next day i saw a little (1mm diameter) wound on my glan - where she compressed. can hiv be transmitted from her vaginal fluid to my wound on my glan even though the wound's so small, if condom has small slits.
Avatar n tn so i wounder if this is the case. if it is constriction, then what are the causes? do i have to cure it or live with it.

5466288 tn?1410485185 Hard cuticles and soft nails seemed to be a common problem, again it seemed to be more about cosmetic causes than health related. There was no end to the tips and tricks to fix it, so i'd google for some ideas there. Cheers.........
Avatar n tn A urologist may need to have this checked. It is important to have this assessd to evaluate the extent of urethral involvement. This does not sound like a case that you should be worried however. Do keep us posted regarding physician's advice.
Avatar f tn The "fixed" split s2 is a defect that causes wider closing time between pulmonary and aorta valves...heard with a stethoscope. The two valves should close at approximately the same time. "Fixed" indicates a hole in the septum between ventridcles. TEE bubble study should determine the seriousness of the shunt (blood passing from the left ventricle to the right ventricle. An echo would provide a structual view of chamber dimensions and blood flow through the heart.
Avatar n tn Or ineffective as in it causes it to break? What is my risk? during the sex, there was minimal vaginal fluid if not none. and we used a lot of KY. so it's a mixture of KY and oil. I need advise as soon as possible. Should i get tested? I have a wife. I'm worried sick to the point of breaking down to depression. I don't know what to do. I promise myself not to visit such places again. Please help. I'm desperate. Thank you.

Avatar f tn During the last month of treatment, I asked that my folic acid be changed to folinic acid (Leukovorin). Not sure if it helped the hair loss or not, but it helped my fingernails. I finally discontinued the MTX ~1 month ago . About 1 week after stopping MTX, I stopped my folinic acid and my hair loss seems to be worse and also my nails are splitting and my tongue is sore.
Avatar f tn Usually with a nutrient deficiency a number of nails would be distorted. At 12 years old, you need to eat 2200-2000 calories per day and have a variety of food that includes starches, meats, fruit and vegetables. The fresher the fruits and vegetables, the better nutritional value. If your mother is concerned, suggest going to your MD and getting your blood tested. It will indicate if any nutrient, vitamin or mineral is deficient or not. Thank you for your question.
Avatar m tn Anybody knows what to do when we run outta fingernails to chew away?? LOL True!!!
