Hello there. I've been browsing Mumsnet since before dd was born, and this is my very first message - everything I have ever needed to know before was already here! So...I've noticed that her nails (both thumbs and one index finger) are actually coming off from the cuticle. It doesn't seem to bother her, yesterday she said "mummy bite it" (as that's how I used to cut her nails!) and that's how I noticed it has got so bad! I have no idea how it started - perhaps she's bashed her hands against something, but both? Or perhaps a fungal thing, but there's no sign of one (apart from the nails coming away!) Anyway, has anyone had any experience of this and should I do anything? Doctor's surgery is closed today but I may take her through the week as it just makes me shiver to look at her wee fingernails. I'm thinking they might just fall off - I assume she'd grow new ones? Argh...help please if you have any ideas!
