Brief Answer:
PLease, send an image to us!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this nails splitting in halves. I will recommend that you send an image to us for review. Though most cases simply get over as the entire nail grows and fall off, I will like to make sure there is nothing mire suggestive of another possible disease condition.

I hope to hear from you at your earliest convenience and would promptly provide more insights. Until then, I wish you well.

Thanks so much for the image!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have reviewed this image. honestly, these changes are not suggestive of any specific disease condition at this time. There is no specific product that can make this go away. I will suggest you put an eye but this really has no pathological significance.

I wish you well.
