Changes in Nail Color
Keep an eye out for any unusual nail color changes, such as yellowing, whitening, bluish tinge, or dark streaks. These alterations can provide valuable clues about underlying health conditions.
Changes in Nail Shape and Texture
Notice if your nails become brittle, soft, spoon-shaped, or develop pits or ridges. Changes in texture and shape can indicate different health problems.
Nail Bed and Cuticle Abnormalities
Inspect the skin around your nails and the base of your nails. Swelling, redness, tenderness, or changes in the cuticles or nail bed should not be ignored, as they could be signs of infection or inflammation.
