Thanks @Maree72, I've been keeping them as short as I can, I just cut them again this morning so at least I know they are still growing! My nails have always been healthy and strong so I'm hoping theyll come back ok. I've been using hand and nail cream and almond oil. I had to stop that for a while as I was getting rashes on my hands and they didn't like the hand and nail cream so I was just using sorbolene for a while as that was all they would tolerate. Now the rash is gone, and they seem happy enough again using the hand cream. They are also a lot less tender than they were, so I think the worst of the damage is over. The nail beds look ok and are not discoloured. I will invest in some cuticle oil and nail strengthener. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks, Katie
