My son's nails haven't been growing at all, in both his hands and feet, for the past five years. I'm really concerned about what kind of problems this could cause. Is there any treatment that could help his nails start growing again?

Nail growth arrest for 5 years may indicate an underlying condition, such as hypothyroidism, anemia, nutritional deficiencies (biotin, vitamin B12, or iron), skin conditions (psoriasis, eczema), or genetic disorders (nail-patella syndrome); potential complications include increased risk of fungal or bacterial infections, nail bed inflammation, or secondary infections; consult a pediatrician or dermatologist for a thorough evaluation
