I'm after some advice from an experienced Geek please.
One of my long term regular clients has damage to her thumb nail caused by eczema, usually it splits every 6 months or so from her eponichium and grows out. As long as the area is not sore/bleeding/pussing which it never has, I will use fibreglass and acrylic to seal it and all is well.
However on this occasion the nail has split from the eponichium exposing a large amount of nail bed. It's not sore or bleeding however as it is exposed skin - originally it was very tender. I removed the acrylic nail and told her to leave it to heal and apply Dadi Oil (she has a severe nut allergy)
It has been 6 weeks since it happened and the nail now looks like this. I would like some advice on how to proceed. Obviously she would like the nail to look aesthetically pleasing - but obviously as there is exposed skin I want to proceed with caution.
Can I re-apply the acrylic advising that lifting will most probably occur as there is no nail to adhere too at the eponichium or is it best to leave the nail area bare until the damage has grown out. I have her booked in for Monday so need some quick advice please.
