How diseases can be detected by nails
- Discolored Nails
A yellow nail may indicate that you have a nutrient deficiency, but they can also yellow if you excessively use nail polish.
A white nail indicates an iron deficiency, while a brown nail suggests thyroid diseases.
A grey nail signifies lung or heart problems.
- Fragile Nails
A sign that you have thyroid gland problems could be that your nails flake and break very easily. Also, with age, nails can become fragile due to detergents acting on them.
- Thickened Nails
Nails thicken when you suffer from diabetes, arthritis, or lung diseases.
If you have thickened, yellow nails that grow slowly, it means you suffer from eczema or psoriasis.
- Spoon-shaped Nails
If you have concave nails, you might have an iron deficiency in your blood.
- Spots on Nails
If you have white spots on your nails, you don’t need to worry.
This suggests that you are too stressed or that there is an imbalance of nutrients.
These spots come and go over time.
- Horizontal Lines or Beau’s Lines
These can occur due to chemotherapy or traumas and injuries.
- Hippocratic Fingers
If your nails bulge, it means you might suffer from lung, liver, or heart problems.
Soft nails can indicate you suffer from hippocratism.
- White Lines on Nails
This type of nail indicates that you have a protein deficiency due to stress or liver problems.
Usually, these lines are on the thumb, middle, and index fingers.
- Dark Vertical Lines
If you have such nails, they can be a sign of subungual melanoma, but generally, it affects only one nail.
- Red Lines or Large Under Nails
When blood vessels deteriorate, bleeding under the nails occurs.
In some cases, these lines can suggest that you suffer from psoriasis or arthritis.
Nails can be very important in signaling certain diseases, so you should pay much attention to them.
