Hello;
welcome to HealthcareMagic
If the nail looks like it is peeling or the shape of the nail is altered then it can be due to any infection of yeast or fungal and it may even be due to deficiency of iron(anaemia) and it is called Koilonychia where the nails become flat or spoon shaped as a result of iron deficiency.Get him to a Paediatrician for examination and treatment.
Thanks
