Fingernails

in May 2012 Moms

My fingernails have been growing alot stronger than they used to be. I cut them back recently and I noticed they look weird now. I know your fingernails can be a symptom of something lacking in your diet or a health problem. All of my nails now have a thick, dark pink line under the white. The tops are also starting to crack/peel. One nail even has some small bumps on it.

Does anyone know anything about nail health? It is probably not a big deal, but it makes me curious if I need to make sure to add something to my diet.

    I'm not sure but I'll bet if you call your Dr's office, the nurse will be able to give you some info.

    This is what google brought up for me. Some of these seem a bit extreme, but I would mention this change to your doctor, especially if this suddenly came about after your nails had been healthy and strong.

    I had pit-like bumps on one of my nails.  I googled it and it said that it's psoriasis of the skin under your nail.  Not a big deal - if the bumps you have are like pits.  Everything else, I'm not sure.  I always refer to google. :)

    Thanks. I go to the doctor next Wednesday, so I will ask her then. It is more weird to me than a big red flag. I was wondering if others have had changes like this. It seems like these babies make our bodies do some seriously strange things. :)

    the pink or red line indicates the increased blood flow, and the dry nails could either be lack of vitamins (protein, i think, not 100% sure) or hormones. I would not worry, but I'd still mention it to the doc.

    This would make alot of sense to me because recently I have been having some days that I feel nauseated and I can really feel my heartbeat and I am just exhausted. I figured it was increased blood flow. That is weird that my nails show it. Thanks!
