Brittle nails refer to toenails that are weak, easily breakable, and prone to splitting or crumpling. They may appear dry, thin, or have ridges. This condition is commonly associated with a lack of moisture and nutrients, frequent exposure to water, excessive use of nail cosmetics, aging, or certain medical conditions such as thyroid disorders or fungal infections. It is important to maintain proper nail care and consult a healthcare professional if you have concerns about the health of your toenails.
