What are normal and abnormal fingernails?
Your fingernails, which are made up of laminated layers of a protein called keratin, develop from the base of the nail under your cuticle. Healthy fingernails are smooth and free of pits and grooves. They are color and consistency consistent, with no spots or deterioration.
Fingernails can grow innocuous vertical ridges running from the cuticle to the tip of the nail. Vertical ridges become more visible with age. Fingernails can also acquire white lines or patches as a result of damage, although they fade with the nail.
However, not all nail problems are typical. Consult your doctor or a dermatologist if you see any of the following:
Color changes in the nails, such as discoloration of the entire nail or a black stain under the nail
Curled nails are examples of nail form changes.
Nail thickening or thickening
Nail separation from the surrounding skin
Bruising under the nails
Pain or swelling around the nails
Nail failure to grow out
Do's and Don'ts of Fingernail Care
To maintain your fingernails looking their best, do the following:
Keep your fingernails clean and dry. This stops germs from forming beneath your fingernails. Water interaction on a regular or extended basis might contribute to broken fingernails. When washing dishes, cleaning, or using strong chemicals, use cotton-lined rubber gloves.
Maintain proper nail hygiene. Sharp manicure scissors or clippers should be used. Trim your nails straight across, then gently round the tips.
Apply moisturizer. When applying hand lotion, work it into your fingernails and cuticles as well.
Apply a layer of protection. Using a nail hardener may assist to strengthen your nails.
Inquire with your doctor about biotin. According to several studies, the dietary supplement biotin may help strengthen thin or brittle fingernails.
Dos and Don'ts of Fingernail Care
To avoid nail damage, avoid:
Pick at your cuticles or bite your fingernails. These practices can harm the nail bed. A tiny cut next to your fingernail might allow bacteria or fungus to enter and create an illness.
Remove any hangnails. You might rip living tissue as well as the hangnail. Instead, trim hangnails carefully.
Make use of harsh nail care products. Use nail polish remover sparingly. When removing nail polish, use an acetone-free solution.
Ignore issues. Consult your doctor or dermatologist if you have a nail condition that does not appear to go away on its own or is linked with other signs and symptoms.
