Nail That Problem
Did you know your fingernails can alert you to a health problem? Here, says dermatologist Janis Campbell, are some signs and remedies:
Horizontal ridges. You could have a zinc deficiency. Take a multivitamin.
Splits or chips. You may not be getting enough calcium.
Curled up. You lack iron. Talk to your doctor about a blood test.
Yellowish green. It could be a fungus. Keep your nails out of water and see your doctor.
Also…Large blood vessels around the cuticle, and flat or two- toned nails , could be signs of conditions such as lupus or ki dney disease.
