NAIL CHANGES

Your nails can reflect your overall health, making proper nail care essential. Changes in color, texture, or shape, as well as swelling or pain, may indicate an underlying health issue. Prompt evaluation by a dermatologist is especially important for individuals with diabetes or poor circulation.

Have you noticed any recent changes in your nails? While some changes can be harmless, others may signal a medical condition. If you observe any of the following signs in your fingernails or toenails, it’s advisable to consult a certified dermatologist:

  • Dark streaks
  • Nail lifting or separation
  • Redness or swelling around the nail
  • Greenish-black discoloration
  • Pitted nails
  • Yellowing nails
  • Deep grooves or gaps
  • Ram’s horn–shaped nails
  • Thin, spoon-shaped nails
  • Washboard-like nails
  • Curved or twisted nails
