I've been biting my nails for a few years and i want to grow them, they've grown a bit but they always bend and are so weak, how do i strengthen them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nail biting: nail biting may cause a local nail fungal infection called paronycha, which can make your nails fragile and deformed. Please see a doctor and this is very easily treatable
