Can nails have a limited growth i try to grow my nails longer but it doesn't seem to grow more than this, so does it have a limit? thanks doctors

Not usually: Like hair, nails have fairly constant growth. Factors that might alter nail growth include injury to the nail matrix, nail infection, severe illness or unusually brittle nails. If this of concern to you consult with a dermatologist.
