This could be caused by several different things. One possibility is the product is drying out the nail, causing the peeling layers. But it could also be a nail infection unrelated to the polish or remover, so I recommend referring the client to a doctor for an evaluation. — Patti Glick, RN, is a nurse educator who specializes in feet (www.footnurse.com).
