How to Prevent Terry’s Nails
There is currently no guaranteed measure to help prevent the development of Terry’s nails. However, you can make a couple of lifestyle changes to improve the overall health of your nails and reduce the risk. These include:
– Wear footwear that does not squeeze the toenails properly and fits your nails and feet
– Trim the toenails on a regular basis to prevent ingrown toenails
– Wear rubber gloves or protective equipment to protect the nails when working with chemical substances or cleaning products
– Use a hand cream or fragrance-free lotion to moisturize the cuticles and nails
– Clean the nails on a regular basis with a soft-bristle nail brush
– Do not pick at hangnails or bite the nails [7]
