Nail clipping is something that everyone has to go through, and when cutting nails, I wonder if you've ever noticed that your little toenails are a separate whole, or two lobes?
I believe that many people have found that their small toenails are two-lobed, and watching the toenails split into two lobes is indeed twisted and unaccustomed. In countless itchy moments, I even wanted to remove the extra petal.
Some people also believe that this is a precursor to nail fungus, and it is necessary to treat it quickly, otherwise it will be troublesome to develop into nail fungus.
Some people also feel that this kind of small toenail with two lobes is a descendant of Shanxi people. Some people say that this is a sign that the authentic Han people can have, in short, various theories are endless, which one is true?
Why do small toenails fall apart?
The toenails we see with split lobes are called toes, and to put it more technically, they are called flap nails, or small toe polygraphs.
From the current point of view, the flap nail has no impact on life, the only impact may be that it is not so beautiful when wearing sandals in the summer.
Although there is a certain dominant genetic predisposition to the valvular nails, this inheritance is not 100%. So don't think that parents have flap nails, but the child does not, just think that the child is not biological, this idea is very unreliable.
When you think that the vallocaria are rare, there are actually not many people with flap nails, which already account for 60% of the total population.
The flap nails are not small toenails divided into two lobes, but may also have three or four lobes, or they may have both feet.
Are they descendants of Shanxi people or authentic Han Chinese?
There is a folk legend that people with flap-shaped armor are authentic Han Chinese. There is also a legend that when the population of Shanxi migrated, because it was reluctant to go to the homeland, it used a knife to cut a knife on its own small toenails to facilitate the future recognition of ancestors and return to the ancestors, so people with flap-like armor are descendants of Shanxi people.
In fact, these claims are unreliable, and there is no scientific research as an argument. However, there are relevant studies that show that the vallocarp nail may indeed be related to population migration.
Fudan University scholars have done a survey, and the result is that the proportion occupied by the flap nails, starting from Shanxi, gradually decreases to the provinces in the southeast direction.
That is to say, the vallapid nails and immigrants are indeed related, but whether they are descendants of Shanxi people remains to be studied.
Do flap nails have an impact on life and health?
First of all, life, there is certainly no impact on life. It doesn't matter if your toenails are two or three lobes, as long as it doesn't affect normal walking, you usually don't feel pain and itching.
Speaking of health, there is no impact on health. After all, the valvular nails are not 100% inherited, are not contagious, and do not bring other complications. The only thing to worry about may be your heart that can't stop trying to break your nails.
However, one thing that needs to be reminded of is that many people have obsessive-compulsive disorder, and when they see that their toenails have become two lobes for no reason, they think of tearing it off, or cutting it to the shortest, and sometimes even bleeding.
This is absolutely not OK! This can cause inflammation and infection on the one hand, and other more serious diseases such as paronychia in the long run. To satisfy your own obsessive-compulsive disorder, suffering so much sin, is really not worth it!
