🖐️ Most people look at their nails only when it’s time for a trim or a manicure. But did you know that your nails can actually tell you a lot about your overall health? Just like your skin or hair, nails can reflect changes happening inside the body. Paying attention to them may give you early warning signs of vitamin deficiencies, infections, or even more serious conditions.
Here’s a closer look at some of the most common nail changes and what they might mean.
1. Yellow Nails
Yellow discoloration is one of the most noticeable nail changes. It can happen for several reasons:
Fungal infections: The most common cause of yellow nails. These infections can make nails thick, brittle, and discolored.
Lifestyle factors: Smokers often develop yellow stains on nails.
Medical conditions: In rarer cases, yellow nails may be linked to lung disease, diabetes, or psoriasis.
👉 If your nails are persistently yellow, it may be time to see a doctor or dermatologist.
2. White Spots
