| description | Brittle nails are characterized by being brittle, with a rough and scaly surface, it is an entity that predominates in women and mainly affects the fingernails. In normal conditions the nails are made up of water, whose concentration ranges from 7% to 18%, lipids between 0.1% and 5%, with cholesterol being its main component, they are also composed of keratinized cells without desquamation, giving rise to three histological layers called dorsal, middle and ventral. These also contain traces of elements such as iron, and zinc. The alteration and decrease of these components favor this condition. The cause may be idiopathic or secondary to systemic diseases, they may be present in some dermatological pathologies. A correct anamnesis and medical history are necessary for a correct therapeutic approach. Its cosmetic involvement forces us to have a clear understanding of its pathogenesis in order to establish an effective and timely treatment. |
