Understanding Nail Changes

Nails play an essential role in protecting the fingertips and supporting manual dexterity, but they are also susceptible to a range of changes and abnormalities.

Common nail changes may include

  • Discoloration: Yellowing, white spots, or dark streaks on the nails.
  • Thickening: Thickened, ridged, or brittle nails that may be difficult to trim.
  • Pitting: Small depressions or pits in the nail surface.
  • Cracking or Splitting: Nails that crack, split, or peel easily.
  • Changes in Shape: Nails that become distorted, curved, or spoon-shaped.
  • Inflammation: Redness, swelling, or tenderness around the nail bed.

Causes of Nail Changes

Nail changes can be caused by various factors, including:

  • Fungal Infections: Fungal infections, such as onychomycosis, can cause discoloration, thickening, and crumbling of the nails.

  • Trauma: Injury to the nail or nail bed, such as from repetitive trauma or crushing injuries, can lead to nail changes.

  • Psoriasis: Psoriasis can affect the nails, causing pitting, thickening, and discoloration.

  • Eczema: Eczema can cause nail changes, including thickening, ridging, or discoloration.

  • Nutritional Deficiencies: Deficiencies in nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, or proteins can affect nail health.

  • Systemic Diseases: Certain systemic diseases, such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, or autoimmune conditions, may manifest with nail changes.

  • Lifestyle Factors: Factors such as poor hygiene, excessive moisture, or exposure to harsh chemicals can impact nail health.
