I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. It can be treated by removing your nail and trimming some of the nail matrix, which is the tissue your nail rests on. A split nail happens because your nail can't grow over scar tissue. It's treated by removing the nail that's already grown and treating or removing the scar so new nail can grow properly. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
