Is fingernails determine who the father is?
Why is my fingernail on my middle finger starting to pull away from my skin and turn white and the bottom half is pitting and peeling? What could this be?

I took Levothyroxine for approx 10 mths and lost a significant amount of hair in a 3 mth period (possible Telogen Effluvium). When should I expect my hair to start growing back, and what % regrowth can I expect? I am a female in my early 30s with no family history of hair loss.

Begging for your merciful answer..My anxiety is killing me.
Could this be a type of fingernail material growing from the scalp? The physical consistency of this 'hair' strongly resembles that of a fingernail. Extensive searching the net has found nothing.

The ENT surgeon I went to (to see if he could remove the regrowth and nodule) said it was too small and wants to watch it for 6 months. Or should I go back to my endocrinologist and question his previous recommendation of ablation and ask to go on Synthroid (both of which I don't want to do).
Hey there,

It has since continued up toward the top of the nail while changing brownish now puple with the uppermost tip is turning white.

My question is if the wetness I felt on the door handle had been blood and it had gotten on my fingertips and nails and had been wet hiv blood and it got on the fingernail that I punctured and cut my chin with could I have gotten hiv from my fingernail with wet hiv blood puncturing and cutting my chin? Thanks for all the hard work you do and thank you if you will answer my question. Do I need hiv testing for this incident?
ve had this happen to me more than once) Any serious crunching to the nail on your finger will cause this to happen - the bruising underneath the nail is what causes it to fall off, and the bump in the middle of where the nail used to be is actually the new fingernail growing back.
There are also various rheumatological diseases that can present with fingernail symptoms, and if suspected, various anti-antibody tests can be done as well as a referral to a rheumatologist.
