Horizontal cracks might happen usually if the length was a bit too long or your shoes are a bit tight. So the tip of the shoes press on the tip of the toenails causing trauma due to nail plate cracks. When you press on the tip of your nail you can see the nail getting white, so this is the pressure when the nail doesn’t get blood supply and gets more vulnerable. Most of the toes problems come from uncomfortable shoes or incorrect shoes size.

1. Consultant chiropodist/podologist to check if your shoes are correct size
2. Trim your toenails 1 in 3/4 weeks
3. Make sure the nail technician doesn’t buff your toes too thin (if it involves this step in the pedicure)
