What your nails reveal about your health

Your nails can tell you a lot about your overall health. Changes in color, texture, or shape might be signs of underlying health issues. Here’s what to look out for:

1. Pale or White Nails

  • Could indicate anemia, liver disease, or malnutrition.
  • If nails are mostly white with a darker rim, it may be a sign of liver issues like hepatitis.

2. Yellow Nails

  • Often caused by fungal infections.
  • Can also indicate lung disease, diabetes, or thyroid problems.

3. Blue-Tinted Nails

  • May signal poor oxygen circulation, possibly due to lung or heart disease.

4. Ridged or Brittle Nails

  • Vertical ridges are common with aging but could indicate nutrient deficiencies (like iron or B vitamins).
  • Horizontal ridges (Beau’s lines) might be linked to high fever, diabetes, or serious illness.

5. Pitting or Dented Nails

  • Small depressions can be linked to psoriasis, eczema, or autoimmune disorders.

6. Dark Lines or Spots

  • Brown or black streaks could be harmless, but if they appear suddenly, they may be a sign of skin cancer (melanoma) and should be checked by a doctor.

7. Spoon-Shaped Nails (Koilonychia)

  • Soft, scooped nails could indicate iron deficiency anemia or heart disease.

8. Clubbing (Thickened, Curved Nails)

  • May signal lung disease, inflammatory bowel disease, or heart conditions.

If you notice any unusual nail changes that don’t go away, it’s best to consult a doctor. Your nails could be trying to tell you something important! 🚑💅
