Peeling fingernails ???
I am almost 2 years out from surgery.
My fingernails have always been long and strong.......one of my pride and joys.....always had people asking if they were real or artificial.
About 4 months ago, my nails started peeling ( not splitting or breaking ) but peeling off in layers. Is this something that others have experienced? Is my diet lacking in something ? I plan to ask my dr. About this on my next visit, but thought I would ask here first.

What's your vitamin A level?
Please note: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. If you want medical advice, talk to your doctor. Whatever I post, there is probably some surgeon or other health care provider somewhere that disagrees with me. If you want to know what your surgeon thinks, then ask him or her. Check out my blog.
I am 3 months out and my fingernails have been doing this (toe nails brittle) for about a month now. I figured it was due to rapid weight loss combined with my using hand sanitizer a lot (I work in healthcare AND have had a cold for several weeks).
Had my 3month follow uptoday and all my labs are good... got the printout and reviewed them my self.
Hope you find a solution.
