Nails as Health Indicators Top 13 Nail Changes

############################# Video Source: www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3yTFo22UP8

Brittle and Cracking Nails: Often indicate iron deficiency leading to anemia, impairing nail growth. Deficiencies in proteins, vitamin B7, and zinc are also common causes due to their roles in protein synthesis, crucial for nail health. • Vertical Ridges: Common with aging, but can also result from vitamin B12 and zinc deficiencies. Inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and thyroid problems may also lead to vertical ridges. • White Spots: Typically harmless and suggest minor trauma. However, they can also indicate zinc deficiency, and in children, may point to nutritional deficiencies affecting growth. • Onychomycosis (Fungal Infections): Characterized by yellow, thick, and crumbling nails, often affecting toenails. Fungal infections are challenging to treat and can spread if not addressed. • Terry’s Nail: Appearance of mostly white nails with pink tips, commonly indicating liver disease or kidney failure due to decreased blood flow or connective tissue overgrowth. • Nail Separation from Nailbed: Caused by trauma, fungal infections, or psoriasis, leading to the nail lifting away from its bed. • Beau’s Lines: Horizontal indentations indicating a temporary disruption in nail growth due to severe illness, infection, or conditions like diabetes and peripheral vasculopathy. • Spoon Nails: Nails appear scooped out, often due to iron deficiency or overload, and can also signal celiac disease, heart disease, or hypothyroidism. • Nail Pitting: Small depressions in the nail seen in conditions like psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and autoimmune diseases such as alopecia areata due to the immune system attacking the nail matrix. • Ingrown Nails: Painful condition caused by improper trimming, tight shoes, or trauma, leading to the nail growing into surrounding skin. • Yellow Nails: Usually a sign of fungal infection but can also be caused by psoriasis, leading to yellow and thick nails. • Clubbed Nails: Indicate long-term oxygen deficiency, commonly arising from lung diseases, congenital heart diseases, or liver cirrhosis, altering the shape of the nail bed. • Dark Streaks Under the Nail: Can signal melanoma, a serious form of skin cancer, especially if they widen or change over time, contrasting with trauma-induced bruising. • Nutritional Deficiencies: Highlighting the crucial role of vitamins and minerals like iron, zinc, and vitamin B12 in maintaining nail health and indicating overall nutritional status. • Indicators of Systemic Conditions: Nails can reflect underlying systemic conditions, such as liver disease, lung diseases, and autoimmune disorders, emphasizing the importance of paying attention to nail changes as potential signs of broader health issues • Disclaimer: • This information is provided for general knowledge and educational purposes only.
