Other nail-related symptoms that require medical attention include:
-
Nails that become abnormally shaped, discolored, or fall out without explanation
-
Pain, redness, swelling, or warmth around the nail (a condition known as paronychia), which could indicate infection or an ingrown nail
-
Nails that are too thick or difficult to cut
If you notice any unusual changes in your nails, it’s best to consult a healthcare professional. For additional guidance, the NHS website provides helpful resources on nail health. While it might seem minor, taking care of your nails is an important part of overall health.
