peeling of skin at base of nails.

Dear Doc,

My son is 4 years old. For the last two years the skin at base of the nails peel off. The peeling is seen in all fingers, more on right hand. Often I clear these peeled skin and apply some ointment. But again after some days the skin peel off. I am attaching the image for ready reference. I have referred some doctors, some say it is fungal, some say it is due to lack of vitamins.

Pls suggest is homeopathy can help

with regards
R Lal

Please give him a single dose of Lycopodium 200. This should also work for his chronic problem and also improve his appetite. If there is no relief in his cough in next 2 days, please give him quarter tsp sitopaladi churna with honey thrice a day.
Sitopaladi churna and honey are available at Swami Ramdev's Divya Pharmacy.

Please trim your son's finger nails. One can see dust accumulated in nails.
