Hello, Thanks for posting your query. I can understand your concern for the nail changes given your history of fatty liver. I have checked the photograph and from the symptoms and photograph, the possibility of terry nail is less likely because the lanula of the nails is visible. In terry nails, the fingernails appear white with a characteristic "ground glass" appearance, with no lunula (the crescent-shaped whitish area of the bed of a fingernail).

hey everyone, so im getting kinda worried about my over all health but i have no medical insurance (which defiantly isnt a good thing) heres a little history: im 23 years old, male, about 5'6'' 130lbs i was pretty athletic up until about a year ago, and first started having anxiety/panic attacks about 2 years ago which have REALLY decreased substantially recently to almost non-existence...except for my symptoms.

My dog bit my thumbnail, his teeth went down directly into the lunula part of the nail That area has swollen to 2 to 3 times its size, the rest of the nail won't grow and there is a big black color that starts at the lunula to the tip of the nail. The original nail has since come off bit by bit. This happened last November. What should I do?

I have slight reddish color above my lunula on most of may nails, however the red/dark pink color is most prominent on my thumb nails. Pictured is my thumb, is this normal? I believe it's been like this for quite some time, but I just really noticed it and I'm questioning if it's healthy.

Has anybody experienced red lunula on their nails? I read this can mean heart disease. I am also experiencing lightheadedness. My primary doctor dismissed it as nothing but I don’t trust him. I am seeing a cardiologist soon but wondered in the meantime if anyone else had this and what it turned out to be.

This white started at the cuticle and is real soft. I could poke a hole in it if I wanted. It started on my toes and now is starting on my thumb. It gets to where the whole nail is covered. Anyway we'll see what the Dermatologist says tomorrow. Thanks for your input and help.

I noticed a few days ago that the lunula on both of my thumbs is turning red. I have checked the internet and it says that it could be related to heart disease. Could it mean anything else, or perhaps, nothing at all?

I scratched it using my fingernails and i noticed the pimple rash had a blood (red but the blood did not went outside the body) and i checked the fingernail that i used there is no visible blood also... Questions: 1. If the technician have a dried blood in my car and my fingernail hit or touches the blood and used the same fingernail to scratch my pimple rash...Do you think this is hcv transmission?

I have read a lot of the answers regarding hand to genital contact, but none regarding fresh cuts under a fingernail. I feel like this might be a different situations since the cut is under my fingernail and therefore more "inside" of my body than a regular cut on my hand.

My fingernail/finger is showing no visable signs but where the fingernail meets the skin it is throbbing. I had no cuts on the hand is it possible to get fluids underneath the nail and trap it forcing it into the nerve endings? I fingered her hot and heavy for about 20 mins. Now my finger hurts near the nail weeks later.

No. Fingering is no risk.

also bone destruction,professional treatment,two operations,but no cure since then.I still have severe painful gums,gum recession and infectious apthosus in inner lips.The lunula(white cressend shape on the fingernails) dissapeared and nails turned to grey.I read that only HIV was found to be responsible for lunula recession.Worst of all I suffer lipodystrophy and I read on a forum that not only hıv drugs but hiv itself can cause body shape changes.
