5. Terry’s Nails: In this condition the nails look opaque with a dark band at the tip. This can be due to aging or a more serious illness including cancer, congestive heart failure, diabetes or liver disease.
6. Beau’s Lines: These horizontal indentations across your nails could be a sign of malnutrition. They also may appear after serious injury or illness like a heart attack interrupts the growth of your nail.
7. Nail Separating from Nail Bed: When your nail becomes loose and separates from the nail bed, it could be related to injury, thyroid disease, fungal disease, drug reactions or psoriasis.
8. Brown or Black Colored Streak: This could be a sign of a melanoma under the nail. Melanoma should be suspected whenever a nail streak appears without known injury to the nail, the nail discoloration does not gradually disappear as would a bruise or the size of the nail streak increases over time.
9. White, Crumbly Nails: This is often due to a fungal infection.
10. Small White Spots: These are very common and usually recurring. They’re caused by injury to the base of the nail and are not a cause of concern. The spots will grow out as your nail grows.
The above examples are only some of the ways in which nails indicate about health problems. Although some of the symptoms can appear in healthy individuals as well, an experienced dermatologist can tell if your nails are OK or not. So, if you happen to have some of these symptoms, it is not necessary to panic—just visit a doctor and he or she will tell you if it is serious or not.
