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.
