Why do finger nails peel in layers and how do I fix the problem?
First, you need to determine if the problem is caused from an actual nail disease. (see link below) http://hooked-on-nails.com/naildisorders.html If you do not have a disease of the nails, or psoriasis on your hands, then you may need to be especially careful to keep your hands and fingernails from getting dried out. Use a good hand cream often for protection and re hydrating the nails, use rubber gloves when your hands are in and out of water often, and anytime you are using strong cleaning solutions.
