nail dystrophy definition
It is not uncommon. In fact, nail dystrophyâalso called onychodystrophyâis a frustrating problem for 20% of people living in America today. As fingernails and toenails are exposed to fungi that grow on our skin, called dermatophytes, the risk of brittle or cracked nails increases significantly. If you have hard, brittle, splitting, cracking and/or discolored nails, then you may be experiencing the effects of nail dystrophy. Nuvailâ¢ (poly-ureaurethane, 16%) nail solution is a patented polymer that addresses the signs and symptoms of nail dystrophy, and has been featured in Oprahâs O Magazine.
