A member asked:
My nails grow les..m habitual of bitting them...is it any deficiency.? if not how can i hav long and strong nails
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I think...: ...Your question has a built-in answer: biting nails is the problem, stopping nailbiting is the solution. Of deficiencies, iron and vitamin d are the most common, and you may have one or both, but it's unlikely there is any connection to the nail problem.
