fingernails dark

Vegetables are very important! Especially dark green leafy vegetables and broccoli. If you're not eating your vegetables, you likely have a nutritional deficiency. It's good you're addressing it now, though, because as you age, this becomes more and more important. You're about to enter puberty, so these vegetables are even more important when you start menstruating.

This is so frustrating! I can't grow my fingernails out at all, because when I do, parts of my fingernails 'droop' over the tip of my fingers. It's not the entire nail -not like a club nail- it's just parts of the nail. Parts of the nail are straight while other parts of the same nail 'droop.' The mail becomes 'wavy.' Almost as if parts of the nail are stronger than the rest of the nail. All of my fingernails are like this.

Have you used any dark nail varnish without using a basecoat? That too can cause yellowing on the nails. Liver problems like terin400 mentioned, smoking (which I doubt that you smoke), some medications as well as an unhealthy diet lacking in Vitamin A, B, zinc, protein, calcium and iron. You may benefit from a multivitamin supplement suitable for your age group. But make sure that you eat a healthy and balanced diet consisting of meat, milk, cheese, yogurt, fresh fruit, vegetables and nuts.

this morning it was dark red and a few small clots but the clots were dark red and smaller then the size of a fingernails or a pinky .. could it still be implantation . Today would make 3 days . But the other 2 days were spotting and would be bright red and pinkish when I wipe . Now it's a little more than spots on a pad but it's dark red ..

my oldest son, now 17, used to cry and scream when he pooped. I thought I saw dark red (blood) in his poop. took him to the doctors he had a little tear in his rectum called an anal fissure.

Hi JGOODMAN, Before overexercising, my fingernails were normal pink like most people, but now they are purplish all the time from both hands. Occasionally, One or two of my fingernails would get very dark blue. But this doesn't seem to be related to cold exposure or stress. Unlikely to be raynauds. And not only that, also my tongue, ears, face after shaving, before turned reddish but now they seem to have suffered from that discoloration too, they turn purplish.

I have been noted to have domed fingernails but not apparently 'clubbed' They have been like this as long as I can remember What might cause domed nails but not clubbed. ???

The doctor says my thyroid hormone levels fluctuates as do my symptoms. My fingernails are the worst and I am so very tired and weak. They are very soft and thin with ridges. I thought the synthyroid was supposed to help with these issues. Am I wrong and is something else going wrong This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/263637'>Fingernails indicative of thyroid problems?</a>.

I knew about the thinning hair, which I am experiencing to a much, MUCH worse degree than I expected (but hey, it's summer!! ) But I have never read anything about tx affecting your fingernails. It only makes sense, as they are both made of the same thing - but has anyone else had this problem? Mine are awful! They are like paper, thin, peeling, and constantly ripping, even though they are cut completely short.

Anyone have terrible fingernails with their VDD? I ask because for the past few years my nails have been very blah, the minute they start to grow they just split and peel. Now, I have noticed being on the VD for the past few weeks/months my nails finally seem to be growing slowly and not splitting or peeling, yet anyhow.

Hey there, girl.....I don't know. It sounds terrible. When I was getting chemo, I had an eruption of psoriasis and I lost my toenails and they aren't coming back....chemo ended 5 years ago. I hurt my toes all the time; but I know it would be much worse if it was my finger nails. I wish I could offer some help. Maybe someone will come along and know something helpful. Have you spoken to your doc or your chemo team about this? That's a good place to start.

My friend has a dark patch in the area between his scrotum and his inner thighs. He says that the itching isnt really bad and he an go hours without feeling like scratching. But when he does scratch the area, rolls of dirt form under his fingernails. The dirt builds up evertime even after he washes it all off. He doesnt have sex regularly but uses protection. What could be the cause of this?

My fingernails have turned to MUSH right after I finished tx too! I always had strong good nails. Now they are MUSHY!! Didnt want to make too much out of it..but thanks for mentioning it.....We cant question everything that happens otherwise we would go crazy! Thanks alot! Charm 4 months post and my nails are still like GEL!

It seems that while i was fingering her vagina, i cut her with my fingernails. I went ahead with giving her oral and didnt notice that blood was coming out of her vagina. When i noticed, i checked my fingernails and mouth, i wasen’t sure if there was any blood it was dark, but it was clear afterwards that blood was coming out of her vagina. I’m not sure if there was any blood in my mouth or tongue from giving her oral.

I'm a husband and father of 2 beautiful girls. My wife has been getting mild bruises on her inner thighs and really dark bruises on her legs. I've seen bruises on her arms- like she has been handled. I ask her about them and she has no idea were they come from and gets very defensive anytime I ask about them. She once said that she is embarrassed and that's why she gets defensive. She is a habitual marijuana smoker and I guess my question is....

hi. after 12-13 days from my risky sexual relationship, i have rashes on my upper leg. they're dark red (i have brown skin), but they are not bumping, itching or burning. can it be acute hiv symptome?

If HIV fluid got under your fingernails from hand-genital contact, does the virus die immediately while underneath the fingernails? My understanding is that the virus is damaged/non infectious immediately when fluids are transferred onto the hands no matter if its under the fingernails or any other part of the hand. I think I already know the answer but I would appreciate a response. Thanks!

Hi, occasionally my finger tips go a very dark purple along with my fingernails, with the middle finger going white as skin looks just after it has been under pressure. The fingers do not feel cold, but feel slightly numb, but when I put them to my face I feel that they are freezing cold. I've heard that this is bad circulation, but I'd like to know if I should be worried at all or if there's anything I can do. http://img377.imageshack.us/my.php?image=hand1mp5.jpg http://img294.

Hi, please tell me what can have caused my fingernails to get purple/bluish after one day of running much more than I was used, on July 14th. Since then, my fingernails stayed purple/bluish. I have gone through EKG, echo, xray, CT scan, blood work and spirometry test, all came back normal. What other tests can I take?

Four days ago a friend of mine -- who has a problem with my sexual acts -- told me I should stop because I can get HIV if semen gets underneath my fingernails. He told me that underneath the fingernail is mucous membranes that will get infected. I cant find any information about this but it cant be true can it?!?? Short hand -- IF I get semen underneath my fingernails am i at risk for HIV?????

Herpetic whitlow is a painful viral infection occurring on the fingers or around the fingernails and is caused by infection with the herpes simplex virus (HSV). I sincerely advise you to consult a dermatologist and discuss these possibilities with him. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist.

ve been having a lot of nail changes- in particular, I had two fingernails partially separate from the bed (both have resolved since) and discoloration (dark pink/red) and thickening of one of my toenails. The last time my dermatologist checked it she sent a sample off for fungal testing and it came back negative, but she never told me what else it could possibly be, and she has since retired.

now almost 2 yrs on i have a nasty pain under my right rib cage, joint pain in both knees, all my fingernails have turned white and have no moon on them but they have a thin strip of normal nail colour at the top, i read this can be due to hepititis? my urine is dark yellow i am very very fatigued and i have a white coating on just my tongue at the back. does this sound like hepatitis to any of you? any answers would be very much appreciated.

I recently visited an escort and she was inserting a rubber dildo into her vagina. After she was done with it I stupidly grabbed the toy with my hand and as hard as i could I pressed my fingernails into the toy shaft. I don't know why I did that but I am paranoid that my fingertips or underneath my fingernails I contracted hsv or hpv.
