and I'm hoping there's a DIY fix.

There's a vertical split in the top of the nail on my pointing finger.
I don't want it to catch on something and rip off, or get worse (it's
only 4-5mm into the pink zone). I want to get ti to heal.

I have had it in sticking plaster for about 6 weeks, but the split
continues down as the nail grows. Bloody nuisance.

Any ideas/experience?

I've tried bandages, adhesive tape, a rubber thimble - and five years
later it is still there. Just applied some Milliput !

Used clear nail varnish - two or 3 coats.
