How to treat eczema on nails?

I noticed my nail ridges and dryness got worse during high-stress weeks which I track on my health app. Keeping a tube of fragrance-free hand cream at my desk and applying it frequently really helped restore my nail health.

I panicked so much thinking my nails were permanently deformed or that I had some rare fungal disease. But my dermatologist reassured me it's just eczema affecting the nail bed. Once I used the prescribed drops, my nails grew back completely normal.

Don't try soaking your nails in vinegar or applying strong onion juice as suggested on some blogs; it will burn the cuticle. Nail issues can be due to psoriasis or fungus, so get a proper clinical diagnosis first.

Applying some pure olive oil or sweet almond oil to your cuticles can help soothe the dry skin around your nails. However, if your nails are lifting from the bed or oozing pus, please see a doctor immediately as it could be a bacterial infection.

My mother told me to apply neem oil on my nails, but the strong smell and dryness made it uncomfortable. I visited my skin specialist who gave me a mild moisturizing lotion specifically for nail beds. Trusting the doctor's plan is always better.

Apne nails ko bilkul dry mat hone dena, haan. Nahane ke baad thoda coconut oil cuticles par lagao toh thoda aaram milega na. Aur please, tab tak koi chemically heavy nail polish mat use karna.
