What is wrong with them? I never had this problem, and now I can't even wear them bare. It looks too nasty.My toenails are peeling, they have ridges and they are easily splitting?
Here are some causes to your peeling, splitting, and ridged nails:





Ridged nails


Ridges running either the length or width of the nail plate can have a number of causes, including:


Age-related changes


Trauma to the nail matrix


Overzealous attention to the cuticles


Fever or illness


Eczema


Rheumatoid arthritis


Lichen planus infection.





Splitting nails


This condition is characterised by the splitting or layering of the nail plate as it grows off the nail bed. Common causes include:


Having constantly wet hands, especially while using soap and washing detergents.


Frequently using and removing nail polish.


Continuous mild trauma such as habitual finger-tapping or using the nails as tools (to pick between the teeth, for example).





There are other factors as well If you need any futher help please do not hesitate to contact me~My toenails are peeling, they have ridges and they are easily splitting?
I don't know about the other two, but ridges on toenails and fingernails is a sign of iron deficiency. Make sure you intake 100% of that mineral a day.
Add protein and biotin to your diet.
Maybe you have fungus
fungus problem.. go see a doctor before they fall off. that happened to my sister.
take calcium%26amp;wear a bandage
Go to Walmart and buy a product called Hair, Skin %26amp; Nails. It should only be around $5.00. You can find it with the vitamins. It works great.
sounds like a fungus...i know sounds really gross..go to your doctor..he should tell u exactly what it is..and if it is a fungus me or she can prescribe a topical medicine or even pills
You have Fungus in your toenails see a DOC asap!
A common nail fungus problem. It is treatable.
you may have either a need for vitamin E (easily splitting and ridges could be caused by a deficiency) or some sort of fungus (this may cause peeling..), check w/your pharmacist or doctor for the best treatment
