Observing the condition of your fingernails can save you from various diseases.
Here are some of the diseases which can be predicted by watching the condition of your nails.
If you have pale yellow nails, then it’s a symptom of a fungal infection.
Nail biting is normal behaviour for those who suffer stress, especially those who struggle with an obsessive-compulsive disorder known as onychophagia (OCD).
If you have brittle/cracked nails it might be a sign that your thyroid has slowed down.
Although Terry's nails might develop with ageing, they can also indicate liver issues, such as cirrhosis.
People with systemic lupus erythematosus experience skin symptoms, which frequently take the form of red, swollen skin around the nails.
When there is a lack of oxygen, the nail grows around the fingertip. This refers to nail clubbing, and it frequently indicates lung cancer.
Onycholysis, the medical term for nails that separate from the skin, is frequently an indication of a hyperactive thyroid.
Keep a check on the condition of your fingernails, and if you have any of these symptoms, then don’t hesitate to contact a doctor, as it can save your life.
