Question

Help answer this question below.

My son's nails have started peeling from the base of the nail towards the tip. Usually fingernails peel from the tips (or so I thought anyway). What could be causing this to happen? He's the pickiest eater I've ever met... could it be malnutrition?

    Yes, something could be missing from his diet. It could also be a fungus infection, take him to the DRs.
