About Elyse C Perry Expertise I can answer most questions about nail enhancements (acrylic,gel, and wraps), natural nail care, sanitation and disinfection, nail anatomy, and nail diseases (please note, however, that I am not qualified to make medical diagnoses.). I work days and evenings, so please give me a few hours to answer your questions.
Experience I've been a licensed nail tech since 1999, and I'm sole proprietor of my own business.
Education/Credentials I attended Gene Juarez Acadamy of Beauty in Federal Way, WA, and then the Gene Juarez Advanced Training Salon in Seattle. I've been diligent in seeking out continuing education since then, and currently have my Grand Master from CND. My focus now is to get on track to become an Education Ambassador for that company.
Awards and Honors 1st Place winner Jr Enhancements in the Strut Your Stuff online nail competition, November 2006; 5th place in the same category November 2005.
Question MY GRANDSON,AGE 3, HAS A PROBLEM WITH HIS CUTICLES COMING LOOSE FROM THE NAIL. THIS STARTED HAPPENING WITHIN 1 DAY. ALL HIS FINGERS AND TOES ARE AFFECTED. THEY ARE NOT SORE OR RED OR PAINFUL. COULD THIS BE SOME KIND OF VITAMIN DEFFIENCY OR TOO MUCH OF A CERTAIN VITAMIN?
Answer I couldn't find an answer to this one, but I would definitely suggest taking your grandson to a doctor to have it checked out. The cuticle, or eponychium, is a seal that protects the nail matrix from infection, and is important for healthy nail growth. To have all fingers and toes affected at the same time, suggests to me something other than simple trauma--but I'm not the doctor. :)
