HAYDEN HAS VERY BAD PITING AND RIDGES IN HIS NAILS ON HIS HANDS AND FEET. HIS NAILS ARE GETTING THICKER AND SEEM TO BE GETTING WORSE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS SOMETHING I COULD DO..MAYBE SOEM TYPE OF MEDS THAT HAVE WORKED. I JUST WANT HIM TO HAVE HEALTHY NAILS AND IF THERE IS SOMETHING I CAN DO I WILL. HE COMPLAINS ABOUT THEM HURTING. I THINK THAT IS BECAUSE HE BITES THEM BECAUSE THEY GET SO UNEVEN FROM THE WAY THEY GROW. ITS A STRUGGLE TO GET HIM TO LET ME EVEN TRY TO CLIP THEM, JUST SO THEY DONT GET CAUGHT AND RIP OFF..WHICH I ALWAYS THINK WILL HAPPEN. ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREAT. THANKS!!!

it was the same thing for anthéa. at the beginning i thought that she ate her nails but i was wrong . it was due to her AU.
the nails of her feet were huge and yellow...
the doc told me to put incolor varnish to fortify her nails. and it works!
but hayden is a boy and maybe won't do that...; ▶ Reply to This
