Nails are always a very good reflection of health. The changes that happen in nails signify some health issues where many dermatologists agreed to it.
“Anything that doesn’t look normal ought to be addressed. Your best course of action is to see a doctor as soon as possible.”
There are a few symptoms which state our health condition and they are
• Stress has become very common in our current period. As like stress hair fall is a very common thing that is found among people of all ages and our hair might fall out after illness or prolonged stress and their nails can exhibit some changes.
• Nail colour is one major thing to be concerned. There are chances of discolouration where it appears in lines that run from cuticle to tip. Brown lines that run into cuticle are a sign of melanoma.
• Arthritis is the small lines that grow near or on the cuticles and they are not cancerous but are to be treated at the earlier
• Scaly, red patches are the common skin condition that is to be treated whereas if you have yellow –red discolouring in your nail then it is called as oil drop where at that stage you must consult a doctor
• Thickening of skin under the nails generally starts at the tip and goes to the cuticle whereas the white spots on the nails are called leukonychia which are the cloudy white spots that occur in nails
• Sprinter is the black line that runs from tip to cuticle which seems like a tiny clot
• Several nail changes can indicate the presence of kidney disease where side to side illness is a symptom of acute kidney disease
• Darier disease is a rare genetic disorder that causes rashes in the skin and it happens to adolescents, where it shows up fingernails very broad and reddish.
All these can be prevented by consulting a doctor at the earliest.
If there’s something out of the ordinary, though, it’s reasonable to see a dermatologist.”
