Here's a report from dermatologists about healthy nails:
Myth: Nail problems can be cleared up quickly.
Fact: Because nails grow slowly about 0.1 mm a day, replacing the damaged or diseased nail may take many months. Itīs important that you follow the instructions for the medications or treatment that you are given carefully to ensure that the new nail growth is healthy. "When it comes to nails, there is no real quick fix so you have to be patient," Dr. VanBeek. "Having beautiful nails is less a matter of luck and more a matter of caring for them correctly. Make sure that you pay attention to them and have a dermatologist look at any unusual problems because early treatment can prevent further damage."
