Hello, my nails are coming apart in layers from the root. It really hurts. Is there anything I can do?

I have a bad habit of biting my nails because of stress.

Good evening ma'am,
Does this only happen on the nails you bite? Does it also happen on the toenails?

No, this only occurs in bitten nails, or ones I've already bitten repeatedly.

Thank you!
No big surprise, we'll have to try to reduce the gnawing first... Otherwise we won't get anywhere.
Have you ever tried the solutions that are applied to the nails that make the nail biting taste nauseating?

Yes, I've used it before. And I suspect I need to stop...is there a cream or something to apply to the nails?

Besides the product mentioned, no. The problem is most likely the "biting" that unravels the structure of the nail and causes it to break into layers like that.
Happy end of day :)
Alexander
