Re: Splitting nails

Tiffany--I have a love/hate relationship with Amazon.com. You can order Evonail from them. I also have the problem of the skin beside some of my nails (mostly thumbs and forefingers) cracking, and when it first started happening they would get infected. A dermatologist advised me to use petroleum jelly on my finger tips every time I wash my hands. When I actually remember to do that it helps a lot. I think it also cuts down on my nails splitting and cracking. For the really bad fissures in my skin I keep them greased up with petroleum jelly (or zinc oxide cream) and keep them covered with bandaids. It is pretty hard to type with finger tips that hurt.

I'm pretty sure I don't have nail fungus. My nails are a normal color and not ridged or misshapen.

Good luck with your fingernails, everyone.

Amy
