She doesnt bite her nails. she knows not too. It is just happening in the past few weeks that her nails crack easily.

dry air from heat could be 'eating' away the moisture

fungus could be destroying the nails

I'm just guessing here....

Is she peeling anywhere else like skin on knees. elbows, scalp . Coz someone I know was recently diagnosed with a mild, mild case of psoraisias incl peeling of nails. Check it out if you're worried Wink
