Mobile application “Happy Mama” 4.7 Communicating in the application is much more convenient!
and we had this problem yesterday, I don’t know what to do, who to run to!!
We are also 2 years old, we have been undergoing treatment for the second month, at first we were diagnosed with a sore throat, on the second day rashes appeared on our hands and feet, we questioned scarlet fever, on the third day we were told it was an enterovirus))) as a result, we were seen by a dermatologist, the skin peeled off in layers, immediately They stopped the antibiotic, they said it was an allergy, then they took a test and said it was a fungus, now our nails are peeling! The dermatologist said that because of the damp sand, many children come with this! The tests are normal, we have been applying the cream for 3 weeks since the age of 12, but there is no result! Fucking doctors.
Hello! How did you cope with this virus? We recently had a herpetic sore throat, then a rash on our arms and legs, the skin peeled off, and now our nails began to fall off ((((
Hello! Well, what did they tell you what happened to the nails! Otherwise, we have such a problem now, and we are only 9 months old. The nails are straight as if they were pinched all at once! It just started on the hands, and now it started on the legs, we donated blood and are waiting for the results! Very worried! Tell me, what did you end up with?
This is an enterovirus (Coxsackie)
We have the same story, it’s most likely scarlet fever, or antibiotics... only our doctors... at the hospital they diagnosed herp sore throat and the manager ordered me to take 3 courses of isoprinosine, she says the virus will manifest itself again if you don’t help the body, then again sore throat, but I think that the Epstein bar was a virus (mononucleosis), the child snored at night, I unclenched her teeth with my finger so that she could breathe. The doctor prescribed the wrong antibiotic, toxicoderma began... Plus, after herp sore throat, the skin blistered, for the third month now the nails have been slowly falling off, (already in almost all new industries) the child began to complain about his heart... We will definitely get tested as soon as the flu quarantine in the city is lifted. Although what will it change? Once again, will you be convinced of the illiteracy of the specialists whom our medicine cultivates? Although there are exceptions, I am not generalizing.
Hello. And we have the same story! Wild horror! Also coxsackie enterovirus, it goes away like a sore throat with stomatitis, then a rash on the palms and feet, a high temperature, we didn’t sleep for 3 nights (((After 2.3 weeks, the nails at the root on the hands and feet began to peel off, now they disappear. A nightmare. Let’s go to Thursday to test for fungus, if they rule it out, they will take tests, blood and urine. It’s scary how it is.
Hello! Please tell us how you treated your child, otherwise it’s the same with us.

Diseases of the skin and stratum corneum are quite common companions of our lives. Yellowing of nails, which sometimes causes them to peel and then look wavy, is one of the most annoying problems in this category. It is worth saying that such a problem requires an integrated approach, because its causes may consist of various factors, each of which requires its own approach to elimination.
What causes big toe nails to come off? The reasons for this phenomenon may be due to various factors. Most often, onycholysis - a disease characterized by thickened nails, often peeling and sometimes yellow or brown in color - worries women. The reason for this is that nail plates grown for a pedicure feel uncomfortable in closed shoes, such as sneakers or closed shoes.
In sandals, this “foot design” will look impressive, but as soon as you put on shoes with heels, your big toe nail (since it is closest to the toe of the shoe) will begin to experience enormous pressure, begin to bend and, over time, become thick . Because of this, their color changes, and wavy and peeling nail plates are formed.
The second reason will be relevant for athletes, especially weightlifters. Due to high physical activity, the plates on the legs can not only peel off, but also become thick and turn yellow. The third reason is a consequence of mechanical influence. As a result of the blow, the nail may turn yellow, spots may form on it, and it will look like it is coming off. Sometimes wavy nails occur for this reason.
Another reason that the nail comes away from the finger can be foot fungus. As a rule, such a disease first affects the little finger, and only then progresses on other fingers. Important symptoms of fungus are:
If you notice that your or your child's nail plate has become thicker, yellowed, or their toenails are now wavy, you should immediately contact a specialist. Without intervention, the fungus will begin to progress and soon begin to interfere with your ability to walk. It is also worth noting that such a disease does not spare anyone - neither men nor women, and can also be detected in a child.
One of the reasons that toenails turn yellow is the application of low-quality varnish. It contains pigments that, with frequent use, penetrate deep into the structure of the plates, which is why they begin to turn yellow. Therefore, when applying coloring bases, especially those that have a bright color, it is recommended to treat the nail with a protective composition.
In addition, toenails may turn yellow due to frequent re-coating.
The varnish applied to the nail does not allow oxygen to penetrate inside, which is why it begins to turn yellow, lose its attractiveness, and in the most advanced cases, moves away from the bed. Particular attention should be paid when choosing a varnish for a child. In a child, the stratum corneum has not yet fully formed and is more susceptible to the negative influence of coloring bases.
Ultraviolet radiation can also cause your toenails to turn yellow. This usually happens in the summer or with frequent visits to the solarium. Nails need extra care when exposed to abundant amounts of solar energy. But don't worry, if your nails are yellowing, it will go away naturally by the end of summer.
Another, most common reason that the stratum corneum on the toes has become yellow is smoking. In addition, the negative impact of nicotine on our body is so enormous that in a weak body it can cause the layer to become thicker or even move away from the bed. In some cases, even giving up this bad habit does not return a healthy pink color.
Do not also forget that the stratum corneum on the leg turns yellow and becomes thicker due to many other diseases.
In this case, our nails act as indicators, telling us about disorders in the body. In order for the nail color to return to normal, it is necessary to identify the cause and direct all means to eliminate it.
If you find that your or your child’s nail has turned yellow, is coming off, has become thicker, or is covered with brown or yellow spots, and the exact cause is unknown, then the first thing you should do is consult a doctor, especially if such phenomena have affected your child. A dermatologist deals with similar diseases on the toes. After he identifies the cause, appropriate medications and health measures will be prescribed.
Why did the nail become thicker? If you cannot answer the question based on the information you already have, then most likely you have been affected by a fungus. In this case, seeing a doctor is a must.
Our feet can be affected by different types of fungus. Some cause wavy nails to form, others cause them to peel, and the variety of colors that spores can give to your nails is beyond description. Only by conducting laboratory tests can you determine what type of fungus has affected you.
Why is this so important to know? The whole point is that in order to eliminate the fact that the nail has become thicker and acquired unimaginable colors, it is necessary to influence the very cause of the disease, that is, the spores. Unfortunately, a universal cure for fungus has not yet been invented, and for treatment it is necessary to select drugs intended to treat a particular type.
More than one generation of medical workers has been struggling with the questions of why wavy nails appear, become yellow or brown, peel or move away from the bed. During this time, a lot of funds were created. Some of them eliminate only the symptoms, for example, returning the previous color, others eliminate the cause itself. It is quite logical that preference should be given to the last group of drugs. This way you can protect yourself from relapse of the disease and move on with your life in peace.
IT'S A MUSHROOM! I was at mykogog's. TERMIKON tablets and EXODERIL nail liquid were prescribed. I was treated for 3 months until these affected nails grew back.
It was the same! All folk remedies do not help!
IT'S A MUSHROOM! Mykogog had it, but the scraping didn’t show it. However, the doctor treated me as if I had a fungus. They prescribed TERMIKON tablets (tablets in this case are required) and EXODERIL nail liquid + baths with soda and household items. soap. I was treated for 3 months until these affected nails grew back.
The treatment is not cheap, but it WORKS. Now you have nice healthy nails. Believe me and spare no expense.
Apparently Tatyana is right. If we are talking about toenails. This doesn't happen on your hands. If so. write, I’ll tell you how I got rid of this ***.
Your text Hello, Larisa. Almost all of my daughter’s nails have already moved away from the base, keep your word of honor. All this has been going on for 5-6 years now. She is ashamed, I can’t send her to the doctor. paints her nails every day..I'm scared. tell me what to do? Thank you
1. Suspicion of psoriasis. Traditional fungal analysis (not confirmed).
2. Suspicions of psoriasis were ridiculed, fungus was excluded by analysis.
3. The idea of psoriasis was not supported, the advice of doctor ¦2 was approved, they advised me to continue to eat vitamins and soak my nails.
My problem has been going on for a month and my nails have never peeled off on my hands or feet. The nail is peeling off on the big toe and starting to peel off from the corner, maybe some vitamins are missing?
Larisa “Apparently Tatyana is right. If we are talking about toenails. This does not happen on hands. If so, write, I will tell you how I got rid of this ***
Please tell me, I have a problem with a detached toenail on one finger, and even if it grows back, it then comes back, now it has also turned yellow. Please tell me how you got rid of this ((
I scratched the surface of my nail about 2 months ago, the nail began to peel off and does not grow back, on the contrary, this area seems to have increased. If anyone knows what this could be, please help!
Hello! My problem lasted about half a year. Previously, I also had problems with my nails: they peeled off a little and I cut off the nail where it peeled off. and it grew back normal. And one nail will grow a little and peel off again. I read on one forum that tea tree oil helps a lot, it helped a little and the same thing happened again. Complex treatment helped me grow my nails, I took vitamins, tried to eat more fruits, treated my intestines, did nail baths with potassium permanganate, rubbed my nails with olive oil and lemon and tried to smear the rich cream on my hands and nails so that the nail plate did not dry out. Now the nail has grown back.
Good day! The nail began to peel off in May. During this time, I began to regularly see dermatologists under VHI (I visited three). Experts' opinions:
I didn’t get a follow-up appointment because... The doctor went on maternity leave.
Opinion: Nail depletion is caused by problems in the body. Prescribed Perfectil, Merz, baths. During the conversation, it turns out that many people’s nails come off, incl. The dermatologist himself had the same problem. After chatting, we further put forward a hypothesis about the connection between the detachment and the ulcer (for the doctor and for me, this problem came along with the ulcer).
From myself: concerned about the threat of losing a nail, I rushed to gastroenterologists, as a result, gastritis and regular ulcers (almost asymptomatic) were discovered.
Irina, did your nails recover after treating the ulcer?
It still seems to me that you did not fully treat your nails and again began to injure them with extensions, etc. Try removing them completely and smearing them with antifungal drugs. And wear gloves to work, now as they say, they don’t sell any kind of gloves. Maybe new and healthy ones will sprout there. As they say, don't give up without a fight. Good luck.
Girls, let's try here?:
I live in Canada/I went to see my family doctor about peeling nails on my big toes. The doctor sent part of the nail to the lab. It turned out not to be a fungus. Because I insisted that this was important for me, he sent me to a skin specialist in the hospital / the result was the same. It’s not a fungus and the doctor honestly doesn’t know what it was. This is where all my attempts ended.
In two months, 5 nails were affected. Two peeled off halfway, and three peeled off on the side. A friend recommended FUCIS 150 mg tablets. One tablet per WEEK. Plus EXODERIL lubricate all nails at night every day. Minimum 8 tablets, or until healthy growth grows nails. Today I took the seventh tablet, the result is noticeable. There is very little time left until complete regrowth. During treatment, stop using any varnishes. This really helps. I will be glad if I help someone get rid of this infection.
I’ll also add that, unfortunately, the nails do not grow back smooth, as if they were punctured by a needle. I don’t know whether they will stay that way or become smooth later. But the main thing is that they grow back!
Hi all. Like you, I suffer from peeling of the nail plate from the bed. It all started after childbirth. and now I’ve been suffering for a year. At first, only the nail on my index finger was affected, I started taking vitamins and smearing the cavities with iodine, as the dermatologist said, but when I was glad that it was going away. Alas. The fingernails of the Mezinians began to peel off. then the ring and middle nails. Five nails are already affected. Please advise how to treat this?
Elenka, as I already wrote above, 5 of my nails were affected. The first to be affected was the ring finger, then the little finger. Both to the half. Then the other three in the corners. All nails were affected literally in a month and a half. Then I began to treat, as I wrote above, FUTSIS and EXODERIL
Thanks for the help! I will definitely start this treatment! My nails are exactly affected, it just started with the index finger on my right hand after a strong blow of blood, there was almost no sore or bruise like everyone else. It was just a nail that came off and that’s all it went. The little fingers are also half the same as the index finger. And the rest are like corners, but these corners grow. thanks for the advice:-)
I had this happen. I asked in several salons. And only one manicurist advised to touch the nail as little as possible, and then it will grow back on its own. The most difficult thing is when dirt gets clogged inside, but it’s impossible to clean it out. When I asked what to do, she said that she would have to be patient and use dark varnish. I had to limit all dirty work or do everything with gloves. And when I was getting a manicure, I asked not to touch this particular nail. I endured it. It really grew back.
and how long did it take to grow it? I have the same thing, and the reason is not a fungus! most likely mechanical deformation. out of the blue - I noticed that the edge of the nail on my middle finger had come off - now it is not symmetrical.
Haven't you cleaned the dirt at all? And nothing was inflamed inside?
I suspect so, the peeling of the nail came from Evelina varnishes - a product for nail growth .. Half of the nails became pale yellow, separated from the bed - there is such emptiness there .. but they are still firmly attached to the cuticle by 6-7 mm .. to me scary.. it all happened so quickly.. a week has passed it seems..
Have you cut off nails that have peeled off? It would just be terrible if I had to do this..
Spray LAMISIL spray several times a day directly into the resulting cavity. I suffered for a year and a half, no matter what I did, nothing helped. I’ve been spraying it for two months now—my nails started to grow in after about two weeks. There is very little left.
Girls, I have a problem with peeling nail plates on my big toes. For 3 years I went to doctors and manicurists - they only built it up (they hid the problem), and the peelings went lower and lower to the base. Having finally met with a good podiatrist, she began to treat: the voids need to be cut off completely so that the product penetrates into the soft tissues, she smeared it with Fucolex (can only be bought at the Institute of Podology) + antimycotic varnish + then they began to do prosthetics. It’s quite expensive (800 UAH per nail), but firstly, you can wear it in the summer (the appearance of a healthy nail) and my plate has finally started to grow in)) And I didn’t even hope for it!! I advise you to either find a good master or contact the Institute of Podology. Good luck to all))
Girls, for prevention, treat your nails with vinegar. Grandma's old method.
Girls, tell me, who knows the solution to such a problem as detachment of the nail plate from the nail bed. The shape of my nails has always been absolutely perfect, but they peeled a lot, I decided to strengthen them, strengthened them with “Smart Enamel” varnish 7 in 1. Don’t repeat my mistake, don’t use this crap. well, to be honest, after two months of use my nails became like iron, and then this peeling started, roughly speaking, under the nails like air bubbles, now I can only use opaque thick varnishes (((. Question - is it possible to restore the previous normal nail . plate and what can be done for this? maybe there are decent manicurists here and they know methods for solving this problem?
I don’t quite agree that you shouldn’t touch the nail plate, expect a cluster of infections and getting an accreted plate is purely an accident. Tanya would advise you to first check for a fungal infection. Fill your nail with hydrogen peroxide; if foam appears, there is a fungus infection. You can safely go to the pharmacy and buy antifungal drugs. Igzoderil in liquid form often helps. (In particular, my clients) But the procedure for growing a nail plate is not very fast. Up to 6 months of recovery. Good luck to you Tatyana.
I read all the stories and I’ll tell you my own: I suffered with peeling nails for 15 years, I took tests - it was clear, there was no fungus! The endocrinologist threw up her hands - it’s from the thyroid gland (there are problems). But one young surgeon saw my nails and immediately said: “All cleaning and washing only use gloves. All your problems are from detergents!” Girls - everything will pass! And coat your nails with olive oil!
My problem has been going on for 7 years, the doctors said it’s not a fungus, they prescribed Merz vitamins, I drank three bottles, but nothing has changed, I don’t know what to do next. It all started with one nail, then when I gave birth to my son, the rest began to come off every year, one nail comes off on my hands. I took all kinds of vitamins and continue to take them, but no results. I don’t know what this is and which doctors to contact.
Girls, look at this:
I have been working as a manicurist since 1992. Love is right - the less you disturb your nails, the faster you will get rid of peeling nails. From my own experience: after a nail injury, I extended and decorated the nail so that there was no empty space visible, when I don’t understand where and what is being filled in, the nail was filled for about six months. It grew back, but it took another two years before it was completely restored. And I do the same for clients with nail bed dystrophy, which most girls write about here. But this is if the injury is relatively fresh. Two clients came to me with this problem, and the only solution for them is to extend their nails, as thin as possible, so as not to injure again, because... a long, thick nail is a kind of lever for such nails. But, having known these clients for a very long time, I made the following conclusion - they did NOT stop picking under their nails, which seemed to them to be noticeable dirt. They did NOT stop using household chemicals, which 100% prevent their nails from growing, and they do NOT use gloves. I don’t wear them either gloves, but when I had a problem with a nail, I never washed the floor with my bare hands. And I never scrub under my nails with anything. I think this is the first reason for nail detachment.
HYDROGEN PEROXIDE IS THE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. EVERY DAY TO PUT UNDER THE NAIL SEVERAL TIMES, AFTER TWO MONTHS OF THE PROCEDURES THE NAIL BEGAN TO GROW, IT WAS ADVISED TO ME AND I ADVISE IT TO EVERYONE! READ IT FOR PEROXIDE AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WHAT REACTION OCCURNS. 100% helps.
Such a problem is like a wolf howling. The index finger has turned into an absolutely terrible state. My nails were always in perfect condition, but a year ago the problem started at the base of the nail and over the course of six months the nail grew back and now half of it seems to be coming off. They can’t do anything because they feel like it will come off. What to do, dear ones! How to put a nail back on. I really want to return my nails to their former beauty!
Most likely you do not have a fungus. Detachment of the nail from the bed is called onycholysis and is most often caused by injury, wearing tight shoes or impaired trophism of the nail. In such a situation, antifungal agents will indeed have no effect. Deeper cutting further only aggravates the detachment process. Try wearing looser shoes, take Medobiotin 1 capsule per day for 2-3 months. It is also a good idea to visit a pedicurist-podiatrist, conduct a course of toe massage and baths to improve the growth of the nail plate. I am sure that if you follow my recommendations, the situation will improve significantly within a few months.
I have been doing manicures, pedicures and extensions for about 10 years. According to my observations (my personal ones), I can only say that if the fungus is not confirmed (and a scraping must be taken for it), detachment occurs from any type of injury ON THE HANDS: both from unknown means (such as smart enamel), and from strong sawing of the nail, and in case of injury (press with something), if you tear off the artificial nail from the nail bed, with frequent polishing of the nail, with a very long length of the artificial nail during extensions. It takes a VERY long time for the nail to grow back. The most important thing for this is to try to ensure that nothing gets under it (dirt, dust), so as not to climb under it, provoking even greater detachment, and remove the length as short as possible. ON FEET: from very narrow shoes (but this is very rare), more often when the shoes are too short in length, with constant injuries (if anyone knows football players, just for fun, look at their big toes), and all the same reasons as on the hands. BUT on the feet, the only thing is that you should NOT cut the length too much (another problem may arise - an ingrown toenail). I really hope that my many years of observations will help someone and at least clarify something.
Hello Alena! I understand you perfectly, I wrote above about my problem, but the doctors are powerless, I even wrote to Malysheva’s website and they answered me that, unfortunately, this cannot be treated ((((I found only one way out, I increase it every month, I create the appearance of normal nails (((But of course they don’t get better, that’s why I feel confident, otherwise it’s still a shame. Try it too))
I have the same problem after the birth of my son, my toenail peels off.
My nail on the side of my middle finger began to peel off back in the summer. I went on vacation and didn’t paint them, but they began to grow in a little. Today I decided to paint it with Diamond Base to make it shine and I saw that it got worse again. I started reading the letters and found a mention of “Smart Enamel”. I ran into the room and discovered that I had exactly this (I bought it back in the spring)!! Horrible!! Is it really she who acts so creepily and instantly? The main thing is that the nail has already grown in a little, but now it’s even worse than before. Is it really Smart enamel or maybe I touched it with gloves? But I’ve been wearing them for 2-3 weeks now and there has been no deterioration. What is this?? So what should we do now? How to treat?

The first impression of a person directly depends on the beauty of nails, hair, and hands: whether he is neat, attentive, responsible. Appearance depends on daily habits and cleanliness. Hand problems are mostly related to health conditions, for example, often the nail comes off the skin due to illness, and not just bad habits.
Every girl at least once in her life has encountered the problem of the nail plate peeling off from the bed. This process has the medical name onycholysis. Onycholysis is a nail disease that is accompanied by inflammation, pain and possibly even bleeding of the nail bed. There are several types of disease :
In addition to this common cause, the nail may come away from the skin from tight shoes . This is the scourge of young girls who are fans of stilettos or running shoes. Nowadays, the trend of extending toenails is becoming increasingly popular; in sandals it looks beautiful, but putting closed shoes or sneakers on such a creation will create an unfavorable environment for nails. They will begin to bend and break due to unnatural pressure.
Physical activity plays a very important role in peeling nails . If you are involved in weightlifting, then you need to be prepared for such sad consequences. The plate can also come off due to a blow to the finger (for example, something was dropped on the hand or the corner was touched by the little finger). In this case, a change in color of the nail is observed, but very rarely the process is accompanied by pain.
The most severe case is onychomycosis or fungus . Most often, with a correct and clean lifestyle, it appears on the little finger, as the most “pinched” finger, gradually spreading to all the others. On the legs its spread is much faster than on the arms; on this limb the disease is also more difficult to treat. With fungus, pain is rarely felt, more often itching, an unpleasant odor or discomfort, and the nails change color.

Before treating a nail if it comes away from the skin, you should consult a specialist. If it has already turned yellow, then professional and immediate treatment is needed. Various baths with useful mineral components are often used. They are also suitable for preventing disease.

This is an option for the simplest form, which appears due to tight shoes, or the cause of the detachment is a bruise. If you develop a fungus, trimming your nail can be dangerous because of the risk of spreading spores. It is better to immediately dip your fingers in a bath based on chamomile infusion and sea salt. After this, an antifungal drug prescribed by a doctor should be applied to a clean and dry nail plate. We do not recommend wrapping the nail in this case so that it can “breathe.” It should be noted that even if the symptoms stop bothering you, treatment cannot be stopped. Antifungal creams (Dermazol, Clotrimazole and others) must be used for at least 3 months, and sometimes even a year.
What to do if the nail comes away from the skin - secondary reasons :
Parents should closely monitor any changes in the appearance of their children. Usually they are a consequence of disruption of various processes occurring in their body. In particular, if a child has peeling fingernails or toenails, this is a clear sign that he currently has certain health problems.
The task of parents in such a situation is to notice the deviations that have arisen in time, understand why this happened, and take appropriate measures as soon as possible. In most cases, even before going to the doctor, it is possible to find out what was the impetus for such an unpleasant external defect.
Understanding why a child’s nails are peeling is not that difficult. It is enough to analyze what happened to the baby in the last few days: what illness he had, what injuries he received, what mental state he was in, what he ate, what daily routine he followed. It is these everyday, banal factors that most often determine the separation of small nails. So parents who notice this phenomenon in their baby should first try to identify possible causes.
Children often injure their fingers - it could even be a slight blow, a slight bruise, but this will be enough to cause delamination. In this case, the color of the nail often changes: it becomes bluish, then purple and even black. It is for this reason that most often a child’s toenails peel: because of tight and uncomfortable shoes, which rub and cause the nail plate to become deformed.
If a child’s nails peel at the base, this may indicate vitamin deficiency, a lack of vitamins and minerals - in particular, iron, calcium and even natural gelatin. An accompanying symptom in this situation may be a change in the color of the nail plate: it becomes yellowish or covered with white spots.
The cause may be a fungus. You cannot hesitate with it and you should seek medical help from a mycologist or dermatologist as soon as possible. Only these specialists can prescribe the correct treatment and tell you what to do if a child’s toenails are peeling (since the fungus most often affects them).
It must be remembered that the clinical manifestations of such a disease differ from those in adults: the configuration of a child’s nail may not change, but the surface will be somewhat rough and strongly flake, and subungual hyperkeratosis (excessive thickening) may also be observed.
The next possible reason is that the child constantly bites his nails or sucks his fingers due to various stressful situations and internal experiences. Therefore, this reason may also be accompanied by insomnia, loss of appetite, and behavioral anxiety.
In addition to all of the above reasons for nail separation in children, it may be due to metabolic disorders, anemia or problems with the adrenal glands. All these diseases require more thorough diagnosis, additional medical examinations and special treatment. Usually they can be recognized not only by the child’s split nails, but also by a number of other signs.
Having found out why a child’s nails are peeling, you can begin to treat this defect. And it should begin with eliminating the very reasons that led to this condition of the baby’s nail plates. Some of them can be dealt with at home, but with serious problems you will have to seek help from a doctor. If there are any doubts about the diagnosis of the underlying disease, it is better not to self-medicate: its consequences will then be much more difficult to eliminate.
The sooner you go to the hospital, the faster the doctor will be able to determine the presence of problems with the baby’s health, and the faster the recovery will occur. But most often, parents seek qualified help when the child’s nails are very peeling, i.e. the situation is advanced. This complicates the overall course of treatment and elimination of such symptoms.
Therapy of the underlying disease is usually accompanied by a set of cosmetic measures to externally strengthen the child’s nail plates.
Having noticed in time that a child’s fingernails or toenails are peeling, parents can take all necessary measures to eliminate this defect and improve the health of their baby. Remember: there are no accidents in your baby’s condition and nothing goes away on its own. Even such a small thing as one split nail can help identify a serious disease at an early stage, when it is not too late to successfully treat it.
There are a number of conclusions about the dangers of washing cosmetics. Unfortunately, not all new mothers listen to them. 97% of shampoos use the dangerous substance Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) or its analogues. Many articles have been written about the effects of this chemistry on the health of both children and adults. At the request of our readers, we tested the most popular brands.
The results were disappointing - the most advertised companies showed the presence of those very dangerous components in their composition. In order not to violate the legal rights of manufacturers, we cannot name specific brands. The Mulsan Cosmetics company, the only one that passed all the tests, successfully received 10 points out of 10 (check out). Each product is made from natural ingredients, completely safe and hypoallergenic.
If you doubt the naturalness of your cosmetics, check the expiration date; it should not exceed 10 months. Be careful when choosing cosmetics, this is important for you and your child.
An ingrown toenail on a baby's toenail is unfortunately not uncommon these days.
In fact, the disease “onochocroptosis” (ingrown nail) occurs in a child only in the presence of certain disorders in the body that provoke the development of the wrong direction, that is, not vertical, but horizontal.
As a rule, this type of complication is accompanied by suppuration; there are even cases where the periungual tissues are located through the skin tunnels. In this case, even removing the fragments yourself will not alleviate the condition of the little patient. All that is required is specialist consultation and appropriate intervention.

How to treat newborn nails II ORP
Ingrown toenail: how to get rid of it yourself at home
In most cases, an ingrown toenail on a baby's finger is the result of an improper pedicure, manicure, or poorly selected tools. Therefore, treatment of a mild form of the disease comes down to correcting the nail plate, studying the rules of personal hygiene for a newborn, and acquiring the appropriate tools.
Ingrown nails may be accompanied in a child by slight discharge of pus, redness of the deformed epithelium, and swelling.
In fact, there are not so many reasons for the formation of an ingrown toenail in a baby:
In order not to cause your baby pain or unnecessary discomfort, you should first familiarize yourself with all the rules for performing a pedicure and manicure for a child.
All manipulations with a newborn’s nails should be carried out only after bathing. Thus, the nail plate softens and is easy to correct.
It is recommended to perform a pedicure on a newborn using special children's scissors, which eliminate the possibility of damage to the epithelium. So, let's start studying the sequence of actions.
After the baby has taken water treatments and done gymnastics, it’s time to do pedicure and manicure.
In order to eliminate a mild problem on a leg or arm, experts recommend making a solution twice a day consisting of table salt and soda in the following proportions: 1 tbsp. l. salt for 1 tsp. soda per 1 liter of water.
After the bath, the baby’s leg must be treated, the piece that has grown in should be cut off and treated with an antiseptic. Next, it is better to give preference to air baths. If the weather conditions do not allow, the temperature does not meet the standards, then the finger should be bandaged with a sterile bandage. After such simple manipulations, the baby can be dressed.
If a nail has grown in on a finger, then it is necessary to prevent contact of the damaged finger with the oral cavity. Due to the fact that all manipulations of a newborn are reflexes, the easiest way would be to use protective clothing, that is, scratches.
For disinfection of a small child, whose age is closer to one year old, an excellent antiseptic that dries out the wound is iodine. It is dangerous for breastfeeding babies to use it. Therefore, experts recommend treating ingrown toenails with a one percent chlorophyllipt solution for children.
They need to treat an ingrown toenail or hand immediately after taking baths, before bandaging. Also, with a one percent solution you need to treat the epithelial area where the nail has grown in after elimination.
If treating the ingrowth at home is not possible, surgical intervention is required.
Self-treatment of a nail is a long process that requires diligence and patience. Therefore, you should not expect that after removing the ingrowth the baby will immediately feel better and will stop being capricious. In this case, pediatricians and surgeons recommend gradually removing the ingrown nails and the length of the nail. Thus, parents will definitely not be able to aggravate the situation and introduce an infection to the inflamed area.
If it is impossible to treat the ingrowth at home and requires surgical intervention, then it is better to look for a good specialist and discuss all the details of the operation.
Advanced forms of onochocroptosis are often treated only surgically, during which not only the fragment is removed, but also the shape of the nail plate is corrected.
When preparing for surgery, you must consider:
The problem of ingrown toenails can be dealt with only in the early stages, with unadvanced forms. However, the disease can be prevented if you carefully study and follow the rules for performing manicure and pedicure for newborns.
Parents should pay increased attention to the health of their children. If a child has peeling toenails, this indicates various abnormalities in the functioning of the whole organism. Often, split nails indicate a lack of sufficient amounts of calcium, protein, iron and other elements in the body.
In some cases, the appearance of brittle toenails indicates a violation of hygiene rules or a physical injury to the baby. It would be a good idea to ask your child if he has hit his toes. In such a case, no medical intervention is required. In the absence of any external influences, the answer to the question of why toenails peel can only be given by a specialist after an examination.
If the nails on all fingers crack or there is a complete separation, parents should immediately go to see a pediatrician. This clinical picture suggests that the nail plates dry out as a result of problems with the gastrointestinal tract. The doctor will order an examination and determine what to do next.
Practice shows that the reason why a child’s nails peel is hidden in a violation of the diet recommended by pediatricians. Parents who do not ensure that their baby gets enough nutrients into their body provoke the development of the disease. Often the reason why a child’s nails crumble should be sought in incorrectly selected shoes. If too much pressure is applied, a child's nails will peel as a result of insufficient blood flow. Regardless of the reasons for making a diagnosis, you should undergo the necessary examination.
The most common factor leading to such abnormalities in a child is a fungus, which has many subspecies. To prescribe effective treatment, the necessary tests must be carried out to accurately determine the type of microorganisms. Second place is occupied by problems caused by impaired blood flow in the baby’s lower extremities. This is most often caused by tight shoes or wearing them incorrectly. As a result, the child's toenails break, crumble and peel.
When carrying out traditional hygienic procedures related to nail care, parents must strictly follow certain rules. Otherwise, improper care can also become the starting point for such an illness. You should not allow your baby to chew on them. Firstly, there is a risk of infections entering the oral cavity, and secondly, as a result of such actions, nails break and their subsequent improper growth.
It is also necessary to keep close attention to the diet of children, who do not always eat enough vitamins, minerals and other useful things. An increased danger with this disorder is a lack of protein in the body.
All this indicates the need to closely monitor the condition of the child’s nail plates, which can inform in advance about various disorders or lack of important vitamins and minerals.
Prevention is one of the most effective ways to avoid peeling nails in minors. For this you can use small baths prepared with the addition of sea salt. The duration of this procedure should not exceed 5-8 minutes. After 1-2 weeks of using them, the baby’s nail plate will become stronger. The maximum course of treatment is 21 days.
The only contraindication for the use of such baths is individual intolerance or an allergic reaction. Another effective preventive remedy is natural varnish, for the preparation of which you need:
Heat the oil slightly. Mix with lemon juice. Lubricate the nail plates with the resulting mixture 1-2 times a day.
Often the nail plate tends to peel due to purely mechanical reasons, indicating an acute lack of calcium, protein, and so on in the body. In some cases, parents cannot correctly determine the missing nutrient, so you should definitely consult a doctor and have your blood tested. Based on the data obtained, the pediatrician prescribes a multivitamin complex to eliminate the causes of the disease. To consolidate the effect, the child must be given:
If the nails are peeling as a result of the action of pathogenic microorganisms, then a thorough examination is necessary. As a result of the culture analysis, the doctor will accurately determine the type of microorganism and how to combat it. In some cases, we are talking about fungi that are resistant to traditional drug therapy. In such a case, additional analyzes are necessary.
If your nail is cracked due to purely cosmetic reasons, you can use special strengthening creams and varnishes, prescribed exclusively by a doctor.
After the separation of the toenails has been eliminated, it is necessary to consolidate the resulting effect. You should start by using oil containing vitamins A and E. Lubricating the nail plates will help prevent relapse of the disease. You should teach your child to properly care for their nails, because any deviations in hygiene procedures can cause damage, as a result of which the nails deteriorate and peel.
Several times a week you can take a warm bath with the addition of 2-3 drops of iodine. This procedure will avoid the development of pathogenic microorganisms. However, there are some contraindications for its implementation: if the baby has a cracked nail or has an allergic reaction, then you should refuse it.
