I'm a bit concerned about my nails. The tips are starting to look more transparent, and when I use a nail cutter, I can trim them shorter, right where that clear part is, even though the nail bed above still seems fine. I wish I could show you a picture so you could take a closer look and tell me what's going on. I'm Jp, by the way. Any thoughts on this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called onycholysis, where the nail separates from the nail bed and becomes transparent at the tips. This can be caused by various factors such as trauma, fungal infections, psoriasis, or underlying medical conditions. To treat onycholysis, you can try using an antifungal medication like Terbinafine (Lamisil) cream applied to the affected nails twice daily. Additionally, keeping your nails dry and clean, avoiding harsh chemicals, and wearing gloves when doing tasks that may damage your nails can help prevent further damage. If the condition persists or worsens, it's best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
