Dear Patient,

I'm sorry to hear this. I'm not sure what this disease is but its often seen in people who internalize stress, have OCD or have developed this habit overtime. The only treatment is to strengthen your willpower and stop biting nails altogether. The nails eventually grow back then overtime. For more help consult a dermatologist.
