5 abnormalities on the nails to be aware of
Vertical nail lines
Nail vertical lines, also known as nail grooves, are one of the most common nail changes. Most of the time, nail wrinkles are normal, and they may be inherited from a parent or they may occur naturally due to age. However, if the vertical lines suddenly increase or deepen, or are accompanied by other symptoms such as pain and swelling, it can be a sign of malnutrition, stress, dehydration, or other health problems.
Finger Shell White Dots
White spots on the nails are called white patches or white streaks and are usually caused by minor injuries, pressure, or trauma. They usually don't cause health problems and may go away on their own within a few weeks. However, if the white spots are extensive, or if they appear suddenly and are accompanied by other nail problems, this could indicate a thyroid problem, mineral deficiency, or other health problems.
Thinning or brittle nails
Thinning or brittle nails can be a sign of malnutrition, thyroid problems, dry hand skin, or other health problems. If the nail is prone to breakage and is accompanied by persistent pain or infection, this may require medical attention.
Horizontal lines on the nail bed
The horizontal line on the nail bed can be caused by severe malnutrition, severe stress, certain medical conditions (such as thyroid problems), or side effects after chemotherapy.
Discoloration of the nails
The normal nail color is pink. If the nails change color, such as blue, brown, or spots, it could be a sign of circulation problems, lung disease, diabetes, or other health problems.
