finger nails nail bed

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?

In onychomycosis(nail fungal infection) nail plate can have a thickened, yellow, or cloudy appearance. The nails can become rough and crumbly, or can separate from the nail bed. Topical and oral antifungals are needed which are available under prescription. My sincere advice would be to consult a dermatologist and get a KOH examination of the nail and skin specimen done to confirm the diagnosis. Also nail fungal infection may take a bit longer to go away.

Hi all, Thanks in advance for any advice you can give. I am a professional guitar player with growing concerns over the health of my fingernails. Over the past 5 years, I have practiced guitar daily on average of 3-4 hrs a day, with 1 hr a day minimum on "off" days. Since the start, I've noticed that the nail bed (and subsequently the overall length of the nail) of my ring finger on the left (guitar fretting) hand has gradually shortened.

Hello, You seem to be having onychomadesis which is separation and falling off of a nail from the nail bed. Common causes are trauma to the nail, localized infection, nail fungi, allergy to nail enhancement products or some systemic illnesses. My sincere advice is to consult a dermatologist and get a histopathological examination, culture and biopsy of the skin around the nails and the nails done. Hope it helps. Take care and regards.

t really check my finger nails. My nails have been like that for a while though. Also when I trim my fingernails I've noticed that more of the nail bed is exposed as if the nail edge has extended backwards. If that makes sense? Please help! http://s1070.photobucket.com/user/YoYo12345/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsfv04swpo.jpeg.html?

He said it was osteo-arthritis evev when I kept telling him my finger nail was sore and I thought there was infection under the nail. It has gotten worse and now the nail is turning blue around the cuticle and I cannot straighten out the finger. What should I do or what do you think is wrong. It ALL started with the nail problem.

The nail is very flimsy as well and no matter how much I have cut it, it always grows out the same way with the dents. The nail also has no cuticle. None of my other finger nails have these problems and are not nearly as flimsy. The dents and rash appeared at the same time and have been there the same length of time. The skin on the finger where the rash occurs is very dry and slightly wrinkled in appearance. The rash doesn't always itch, but occasionally does on random and is very itchy.

white part of my nails are moving up my nail bed to the pink part and becoming very uneven, worse when I wear nail polish, and particularly bad on my ring finger and pinky of both hands. I have Gilbert's syndrome though which affects the liver and impedes the liver from properly breaking down certain components it normally should break down such as Bilirubin. Get your doctor to check if you Bilirubin levels are abnormally high and to check your liver function.

My nail symptoms with hypothyroidism are onycholysis (separation of the nail from the nail bed) and peeling nails. When I was a teenager my sister used to say that I was using a pin to scrape under my nails to make them look longer lol. I only have onycholysis very mildly on my ring fingers now. I don't have any moons either except my thumbs. I don't recall ever having moons so it's probably just my normal. I found this info about absent lunula...

Hi i have been suffering from weak finger nails all my life and lately i decided to go to a nail technician to apply gel nails in order to have more support for my original nails.. However, after that the gel nails fell off my original nails became chipped off, very weak and worst than before the gel nails. Any suggestion please? Any products that can make my nails better?

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 middle finger lines are thicker and blurred, and the 2 toes, 2 little toes and index finger have thicker pigmentation than other nails. I biopsed a nail with not as much pigmentation as the ones mentioned above (my ring finger nail) .It was clear , Im 16 snd i had these from childhood (dont remember when they appeared). im also darlk skinned. Is there a need for a biopsy to check the blurred and wider pigmented nail?

I know some hospitals want clean nails for the o2 sensor and also in the event of complications they want to be able to see your nail bed colour. A lot of registration paperwork will include a line that says no nail polish. But it seems like more and more hospitals are allowing it nowadays.

ve been getting my nails done with acrylics and gels for numerous years but now have what appears to be an infection in many of my nails and they are separaed from the nail bed. Nothing I've tried seems to work. Should I have the nails cut down? See a dermatologist? Kindly advise.

Horizontal ridges and white lines on nails are seen in trauma to nail bed, kidney diseases, pellagra or Vit B3 deficiency, low protein, arsenic poisoning, and liver diseases. Hence a kidney and liver function test should be done.

why is the nail on my left hand ring finger split vertically down the whole nail?

I probably had a moderate problem (bit my nails where they were always halfway down the nail bed but def more than a sliver of nail left). All I did was paint my nails with a nail strengthening clear coat EVERYDAY. Even if the polish was still there I'd reapply. This way I never got to the actual nail. I would bite/pick at the polish but not the nail til the nail got long and strong enough.

I was cutting my cat's nails, and I saw that his nail bed was black. This is the case for half of his claws on his front, left paw and for most of his nails on his rear, left paw. Is it an infection and should I take him to the vet? Is it serious? He is 8 years old now and I'm really worried.

I burned my finger 3 weeks ago with hot melted sugar. Some fell on my finger nails as well. The skin under my nail has turned hard and a bit yellowish color. The surrounding of my nail has turned hard as well. The burn hasnt cured yet. Im worried since its already been about 3 weeks and even though the burn seems to have dried out, it still hasnt fallen apart. Also worried about my hard skin under my nails..Your advice is much appreciated. Thank you very much!

Is it bad or dangerous to eat your finger nails during pregnancy????? It's a bad habit I've always had. I'm only 17 weeks. Help.!

i noticed last night all my finger nails it cloudy white lining along the cutical area of my nail bed

If the result comes back that it is a fungal problem the doctor can prescribe on prescription medications for you either to apply to the finger nails and the nail bed, or medication to be taken by mouth. Again, this is a length process and you may need to be on medication for a few months. Make sure that you have good hygiene and always wash your hands after using the toilet and before eating any food. If your hands are in water a lot, get some hand protection, like latex free gloves.

After i clipped my finger nails i noticed starting at the nail bed the skin on my finger tips was a light color, white/grey. after being exposed to a hot shower the skin started to let go. it only seems to peel at the tips and around the nail beds. nowhere else. two of my fingers on my left hand have healed up but my right had is getting worse and worse. every time i shower without latex gloves on the skin gets very weak and peels like crazy.

So far I have them on both thumbs, middle finger of my left hand, index finger of right hand and middle finger of right hand. I have also noticed in the past 2 months that my nails have become very rigid, they use to be smooth. The only other thing I notice with my hands is that for the past 2 months they have been going numb while I am asleep, mostly the right hand but the left has a few times.. Every single time I wake up my right hand is so numb that I cant feel a thing.

I have ILVEN and two of my nails are disfigured -- a finger nail and toe nail -- they're the nails closest to the lines of my ILVEN lesions.

Thanks Brandywinne To geminigirl1963 , the old nail already from 1 week dropped and now the new nail is only cover the half of the finger and it is like it will never grow as it show like my other nails , meaning i am afraid that the process is already finished without letting the new nail grow to full.
