How to judge nail scratches (teach you to read nail signals)

When there is a problem somewhere in the body, the body will send out signals in various ways, including tongue coating, urine, stool, etc., which will all show abnormalities. Nails are one of them.

Ask the doctor teaches you to read several signals of nails.

Nail vertical stripes Many friends are most concerned about: What is the signal of nail vertical stripes?

The answer is: no signal!

Vertical stripes on nails are a normal physiological phenomenon, and everyone has vertical stripes on their nails more or less. If it is found that the vertical stripes increase, it is only a normal phenomenon caused by aging. Like wrinkles, the vertical stripes of nails will increase with age.

If you are young, but the vertical lines of your nails increase or the color deepens, it means that your body may lack vitamins, and the problem is not big. It can supplement nutrition and keep enough rest time.

But if there are black vertical stripes on your nails, you need to be vigilant!

Nail black line is a symptom of nail nevus, and its width is about1-3 mm. The vast majority of nail nevus are benign, but there is a risk that cancer will become melanoma. If the nail black line becomes wider, with different shades and uneven nails in a short time, it is recommended to remove it surgically as soon as possible to avoid canceration.

Nail stripes Nail stripes are more worthy of vigilance!

Nail stripes, also called ripples, are horizontal grooves on nails that move with the growth of nails. Nail stripes do not represent specific diseases, but they are real "health indicators".

The appearance of nail stripes suggests that your body has severe malnutrition, or you have some serious diseases that will temporarily affect the growth of nails, such as measles, mumps, heart disease, liver disease and so on.

So when nail stripes appear, you should go to the hospital for examination in time!

Bruising under fingernails When fingers are accidentally injured, bruises sometimes appear under fingernails, such as fingers being caught by doors and being hit by heavy objects. In general, these bruises will dissipate after a period of time, but one kind of bruises will last for several years, accompanied by severe pain, which may be a rare tumor-glomus tumor.

Glomus tumor

This disease is very rare in clinic. It usually grows between the bone and the nail bed. Almost no means can detect it in the early stage. Only when the tumor grows up will it have a chance to judge. In the early stage of glomus tumor, it may only hurt when your fingers touch it. The later symptoms are bluish gray under the nails, like bruises, which last for many years and the pain becomes more and more severe. In the later stage, even if the cold wind blows, it will be extremely painful. Because it is not fatal, it is easy to be ignored. The longest tumor can be produced under the nails for more than ten years, and the tumor is as long as 1 cm, and the bones of fingers will be squeezed and deformed.

The treatment is relatively simple, just pull out the nail and remove the tumor. The operation is less than one day, but there is a 10% chance of recurrence, so it can only be removed repeatedly.

There is a white arc under the crescent moon. Because it is shaped like a curved crescent, it used to be called the nail crescent. It is a natural phenomenon formed in the process of nail growth, and it is a nail without complete keratinization.

Everyone has a crescent on his finger. Some people feel that they don't exist just because they can't see, not because they don't exist. People with congenital methyl group backwardness or slow nail growth can hardly see the newly grown keratin cells, and naturally they can't see the crescent moon. Not every finger has a crescent moon. The new moon often appears on the thumb, but rarely on the little finger.

How to judge the health status according to the crescent moon on the nail? Mainly depends on the change.

The small crescent on the nail suddenly becomes bigger and fuller, or people without crescent suddenly have obvious crescent. It is possible that there is something wrong with the thyroid gland. Hyperthyroidism can accelerate the metabolism of the whole body, and nails are no exception. People who have never had a crescent moon will grow a complete crescent moon, while those who have a crescent moon will grow bigger and bigger.

Crescent shrinks or the original crescent disappears, and vice versa may be hypothyroidism. Due to the lack of thyroid hormone, the metabolic rate of the body slows down, and the growth rate of nails will also slow down or even stop. The crescent moon on the nail will naturally get smaller and smaller until it disappears. In addition, in the case of malnutrition, when the condition is serious, methyl lacks enough nutrition to make keratin cells, which will also lead to crescent atrophy or even disappearance.

Discover all kinds of signals your body gives you in time, and the disease will no longer be a problem!
