A member asked:

My fingernails have gotten soft and pliable. i can easily bend them and they tear easily. my hair will even tear them in the shower. what's this mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Skin health ; diet: Changes in the nails can reflect nutrition issues as well as skin problems. If you're eating a well-balanced diet with a variety of vegetables, seek the care of a pcp or dermatologist who can talk to you more about what may be going on. Don't ignore this- nail changes can be part of serious conditions.
