Brief Answer:
Tablet biotin 10 mg and moisturizing cream
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic,
As per your complaints, you seem to be having brittle nails.
It is usually associated with biotin deficiency.
I would recommend you to take tablet biotin 10 mg once daily for 3 months and apply a good moisturizing cream containing white soft paraffin on the entire hands including the nails 2-3 times in a day.
This will help your nails become normal.
