General Measures:

• Avoid contact with water
• Wear gloves whenever your hands are in water, or if you are doing wet work (laundry, cutting up foods, etc.).
• Do not push back or trim your cuticles

Topical Therapy:

• A prescription topical nail lacquer can be used once daily
• It is applied to the nail and to the skin around the nail, every day and removed once weekly with nail polish remover
• It must be used for 6 months or more to see improvement
• Do not use nail polish over the laquer as it may permanently discolour your nails

Oral Medications (Pills):

• Please talk to your doctor to discuss your treatment options
