Fingernail abnormalities can be anything from infected fingernails to a physical disfigurement. If your nail is physically disfigured, then you first need to determine why this has happened. If you have gotten injured, or have managed to damage your nail by an impact of some sort, then you could be troubled with disfigured nails. Even if you are an avid nail biter, this can also cause problems with the appearance of your nails. In really rare cases, a severe calcium deficiency can also cause brittle and broken nails. Sometimes, this can also lead to yellow nails that look really bad. If you have had disfigured nails from birth, then you would need to take care of them differently. However, if they have developed later, then you could take some simple steps at home to repair them. If you bite your nails and this has left them looking abnormal or damaged, then you need to stop this habit. If it is difficult to stop on your own, you can start bandaging your nails. This is usually effective in helping to prevent nail biting. Cover the nail completely for best results. If there has been some sort of an injury or impact, your best bet is to leave the nail alone. If you bother too much with it, it may just get worse. Usually, in the case of injuries, the nail grows out fully for a cycle or two in its damaged state and then gradually starts returning to normalcy.
Fingernail Fungus Cure
If you are suffering from fingernail fungus, then you can try to get rid of it in a myriad of ways. For instance, you can apply a strong mentholated cream, the kind that is richly endowed with eucalyptus oil to the nail and leave it there. Cover the whole nail and allow it to remain this way for a few hours. This will be extremely effective in killing off the fungus. Just to be on the safe side, you can also do this for six continuous days. It will be extremely helpful if you can do it for more than once every day. Another excellent product you can use for the same purpose is tea tree oil, as this is the best natural anti fungal treatment available. But do keep in mind that tea tree oil can also damage your skin if not used judiciously. See how well your skin can tolerate it and only then use it.
