Dermatologist Dr. Bharat Chawda's  Response
Hi!Divya,
Welcome To HealthcareMagic forum,

For brittle nail ,those which doesn't grow , needs oral biotin tablets which help build keratin in nails.
This needs to be taken for long.
One home remedy you can do is, dip your finger nail in olive oil daily for few minutes.

regards,
Dr.chawda
