alterations in nail appearance or texture indicating health issues

Nail changes refer to alterations in the appearance, texture, or growth of fingernails or toenails, which can be indicative of various health conditions. These changes can include discoloration, thickening, brittleness, pitting, or separation from the nail bed, and may be associated with systemic diseases, nutritional deficiencies, infections, or trauma. For instance, yellowing of the nails might suggest a fungal infection, while pitting could be a sign of psoriasis.
