What could cause your nails to stop growing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stress.: During periods of physiological stress, nails may slow or even stop growing until the stress is eliminated. It is thought that the energy used to support nail growth is shifted to deal with the energy requirements to handle the physiological stress.
