Soft and fragile nails
So this might be a minor one... but, I am a really active person (I run, climb, swim and do weighttraining). I also try to get a lot of variety in my diet and I do generally eat very healthy.
My nails though, even when they are really short, tend to be flimsy and somewhat soft? They also tend to just get splits in them that go all the way to the base of the nail itself. It feels really uncomfortable.
So my question is, what causes this? Maybe a vitamin deficiency? Or is it just hereditary or both? Anyone with similar nails? 😅
Thanks in advance! 🙏🫡
