t think I had damaged the nail bed because it was growing out straight, but is funny looking. He prescribed a urea nail stick to aid with the fungus like matter under the fingernail. I keep it trimmed back to allow for new nail growth, but it gets to a certain point and develops this gross looking end to it. Any idea why it's taking so long for the nail to regenerate, or is this an indication of a possible underlying cause?

Brittle nails can also peel, I believe there was a question below in regards to this. As far as I know, nutritional deficiencies rather show as uneven surfaces of the nail bed.

The nail is all orange except for the cuticle. Other fingers on the same hand are now getting a hint of orange. Is there a home remedy for this or do I need to see an MD.?

My fingernail has a dent in it! How did it come down and how do I get rid of the nail dent?

Even though you are on levothyroxine for months, are you sure that your thyroid hormone levels are adequate to relieve hypo symptoms, one of which can be fingernail problems. If you will please post your thyroid related test results and their reference ranges shown on the lab report, members will be glad to assess the adequacy of your testing and treatment. Also, have you been tested for Vitamin D, B12 and ferritin?

I had been experiencing same condition on my left and right hands fingernail (both thumb and index finger, rest of my fingernails started to thicken too). They are thickening, test result is negative for fungus, the doctor told me to use Canesten. Last four months is ok, the coloring gone, but now its coming back. Then I just notice, that my nose, ears, navel and even my anus started to become itchy. I do not know if it is related to my fingernails.

I noticed that my right thumb nail had a white spot near the middle of the nail bed on the left side. The nail has since grown out some, so the white spot will probably be gone by the time I see my PCP. My other thumb nail has a groove or pit that is like looking at a ditch on the nail bed. One part before it dips into the ditch seems thicker. The other part seems much thinner. The groove or ditch is pronounced. Both of these things on my thumb nails is new for me.

When the proximal pallorous nail bed is congested with blood by manually occluding venous outflow, this band must still be easily distinguishable. For your condition, one important possibility which needs to be ruled out is of Raynaud’s phenomenon. It is an episodic reduction in the blood supply to the fingers and/or toes occurring mainly in response to cold which causes white tips of extremities.

On the other hand, splinter hemorrhages appear as a red to reddish-brown fine, vertical line that resembles a splinter beneath the nail, this disorder occurs when blood vessels in the nail bed are damaged or from a nail injury. If a dark spot or streak appears on any nail, and is not the result of an injury, it must be examined by a dermatologist to rule out melanoma.

My figernails are separating from the nail beds and falling off. When I brought this up to my oncologist, he stated that it was from the Taxotere. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem occur and what they've done for it. Thanks!

Cut off the loose nail portion close to the skin without cutting into the skin. A pair of fingernail nippers or fingernail scissors work best. Then brush on pure tea tree oil a couple of times a day.

My husband has had dark, almost purple color to his nails, primarily down by the bed of the nail. One doctor said it might be a side effect to one of his blood pressure meds. Another doctor thought it might be due to his hepatitis. Last year, when he was on his second therapy for Hep C, his hepatologist referred him to a dermatologist, who thought he might have cryoglobulinemia, which is a blood disorder that many people with hepatitis have. It was ruled out.

When i woke up in morning I realized that it could have caused an HIV infection because he may be having blood on fingernails from nail-biting . I do not know the the other guy and i have absolutely no idea about his HIV status. But I am too worried about getting an infection like this. What do you think, is it possible to get HIV like this ?

I went to wash it and she pulled away and her fingernail digging into my hand I used and cut it with her fingernail drawing blood. Is there a risk to spreading herpes to the underneath of her fingernail grinding the virus into the underneath of the nail? Thanks.

It can also be a symptom of heart problems. But having HCV for 20+ years I am curious, if anyone else noticed this happening to them?

Ever since I can remember, on my thumbnail and big-toe nail, there has been a strange deterioration. It looks like a series of grooves in the center of the nail (see attached pictures). My fingernails aren't weak or brittle and they're not really falling off or anything. I don't think it's anything serious, but I've always been curious what it is. If anybody could help at all, that would be great.

This happend on Monday afternoon don't you think I would have notice something by now being 48 hrs in regards to a symptom? There was no liquid from hsv2 on the zipper but can the virus still transfer from the hand to zipper to underneath fingernail with no liquid? Can the virus get underneath fingernails, are there any "opening" under the nail to let the virus in?

It was the worst i have ever got,pus was coming out ,all the tissue was red and inflammed and it hurt like hell.Even if i touched my fingernail at the end(i have long fingernails) my finger was sensitive.So..today i noticed,i havent looked at my nail closely lately nor at a natural light , i saw that my nail suffered some yellow discoloration as if there was something underneath it.It is near the location where the pus was oozing and it looks like the nail is detaching from the nail bed.

I have had a small electrical sensation at the base of my right, middle fingernail. This lasted most of the weekend, and now my nail feels as if it has been smashed. My left little finger has also hurt (throbbed) for two days . . . but it is a different kind of pain . . . Any ideas???? None of this is unbearable . . . just odd!!

Nail problems something like: http://www.****html ? A pain near or around the bellybutton can come from problems near where the common bile duct empties into the duodenum, or it could also come from pancreatic problems, too. So I'd really suggest that you at least tell your doc about the fever and the bellybutton pain.

I've been following Dr Edward Hook's replies to posting regarding transmission of HPV through open cuticle or hangnail underneath fingernails (since July 16, 2010 when a posting was made by 'dohdohdoh'). Followup question: Can I get HPV transmitted through underneath the finger nail? Background: I was fingering a woman known to have HPV. We were careful. No intercourse. No touching genitals. But I gave her two of my fingers in her vagina to please her.

So my nail edges look yellow. I've heard that yellow nails can be indicative of health problems. I also have yellow toenails but I went to the dermatologist and she said I had a toenail fungus. I was prescribed terbinafine for my toenails and have been on it for a week. But she didn't really check my finger nails. My nails have been like that for a while though.

Dear Doctor, I am a 40 year old heterosexual man. In February 2009, I had a mishap during heterosexual intercourse in South America. The ejaculate spilled on the bed during withdrawal and there is a possibility that unprotected sex occurred toward the end of intercourse. I had a normal absolute/% CD4 of 1063/45% at 5 wks followed by negative ELISA tests at 6 wks/77 days/80 days. The first 2 ELISA's were with a home kit and the 2nd one was ordered by an ID physician.

Any trauma to the nail bed can also lead to dents. Heredity conditions are other conditions leading to dents. Alopecia areata, eczema and reactive arthritis are few other conditions which may cause the appearance of dents in nails. For exact cause seeking the opinion of a dermatologist will be helpful. Best wishes and regards!
