How Much Do You Think About Your Fingernails?
Most of us think about our fingernails on an aesthetic level: “Are my nails painted nicely?”, “Do I need to trim my nails?”, “How do I stop biting my nails?”, but do you think about what your nails say on a deeper level? Our fingernails can give us information about our health, about diseases, and about our personalities.
Some Of The Things Our Nails Can Reveal To Doctors:
- Conditions like lupus, psoriasis, liver failure, iron deficiency, thyroid problems, and even arsenic poisoning.
- Melanoma of the nails.
- Signs of aging.
