What was the cause of your nail damage? Damage to nails can be evidence that you have a health condition that needs medical treatment--not just the cosmetic thing to make them look better.




Unless the cause of the damage is known (like you were working in the yard so such), before starting any over the counter treatment it is important to know why the nails are not strong/are damaged.

I have a thyroid condition and one of my first symptoms (before I was diagnosed) brittle nails. Had I looked to an over the counter treatment for this, I would have delayed getting diagnosed and put onto the right treatment. My nails are fine now and I will be on thyroid meds for the rest of my life.

Once you know you have a clean bill of health, just verify with your doctor that it is safe for YOU to use. He/she knows your history and can verify if it is safe for you.

Hope you have a clean bill of health and the white iodine works for you!
