What Are The Uses And Side Effects Of Accutane?
Hi, I took Accutane for acne as a teenager, after which my finger and toenails became weak and deeply ridged vertically. Now at age 57, they seem to be getting worse. As a weight lifter, I eat a pretty controlled diet, including lots of protein. Is there any supplement or treatment that would make my nails less unsightly? Thanks very much.
