Patient's question:
My baby is 3 and a half years old. Recently, I noticed that several of his fingernails have broken off at the root and are also peeling. What could be the reason? I took him for a trace element check today, and the results were all normal. What should I do?Previous Treatment and Effect: Blood tests and trace element checks were normal.
Help Needed: I want to know the severity and the solution.
Doctor's answer:
If it's not a trace element issue, it might be genetic variation. If it's not severe, it might be okay like this, depending on how much interference there is. The main thing to look for is whether there are any broken skin, inflammation, or infections. If it's severe, it's still recommended to go to the hospital for early examination and treatment.The above advice is for the question "My baby is 3.5 years old and recently I noticed that several of his fingernails..." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
