ve noticed the ends of all my fingertips slowly turning red.... only on the top side of my hands, the side with the fingernails.... My fingernails are healthy and growing/normal, but the skin surrounding the nail is very red....

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.
My 7 year old daughter finger nails and toe nails are turning black and are seperating from the skin. I took her to a determologist and he really could not come up with a diaginosis or reason why this is happening. He ran some test of the nail and it came back negative for fungus. It appear to be spreading to other finger nials (so far 3 finger nails). He prescribed some cream to reduce the thickness and it appears to be working, although, keeps speading.

The chemical burn will heal with no long-lasting effects, and the yellow will eventually fade and diappear. How long is hard to say, but it won't be forever.
Why are my fingernails turning purple around my nearly severed finger I never seen a doctor about it
If you are turning yellow, you are right to be concerned. Have you explained to your doctor that you have this condition?
If you have, and he still ignores it, you need to find another doctor. I don't know if liver issues are the ONLY thing that causes jaundice, but turning yellow is certainly not normal, and must be investigated.
I panicked when I saw your Mum was yellow. I have never heard of anyone turning yellow while on tx. Yes, she will be weak and tired. Did they tell you what her hemoglobin was? If that has dropped it will make her very tired. Mine was 14.8 dropped to 9.7. I could barely walk. My legs were very weak and in fact if I stood for too long my feet and ankles would go numb.
Too much sugar in one's diet is usually the cause of a toothbrush turning yellow. Sugar tends to exacerbate plaque buildup in your mouth, resulting in a more yellowish appearance on your teeth. If you wash your teeth frequently, this deposit may transfer to your toothbrush, turning it yellow.

About 6 months ago I noticed that 1 of my fingernails started to yellow in the corners at the distal part of my nail, at the site of yellowing the nail also got hardened. With time, the same happened in some of my other fingernails ( but stayed well demarcated at the corners. Also, both my toenails show a slow regression in the line where the nail is attached to the nail bed. Lastly, about a month ago the ring fingers in both my hands show fine pitting, 5-6 pits per nail, needle head size.
Yellow nails that fall off are typical symptoms of nail psoriasis. I'm not too sure about the puffiness though. Have him see a dermotologist or rheumatologist to be evaluated for psoriasis. People who have nail psoriasis are more likely to have the associated arthritic condition known as psoriatic arthritis. Does he have any joint complaints?
Yellow nails
Can be indicative of problems with the lymphatic system, respiratory disorders, diabetes or liver. Yellow discoloration in your fingernails may result from a respiratory condition, such as chronic bronchitis, or from swelling of your hands (lymphedema). In yellow nail syndrome, nails thicken and new growth slows, resulting in discoloration. Nails affected with this condition may lack a cuticle and may detach from the nail bed in places.
If I poke my foot, the skin turns a pale yellow color (like normal skin would) but stays that way for a while. Any idea what this might be?
This question is one I have not been able to find any answers to using general search engines. My fingernails are pretty normal looking in that they are a healthy fleshy pink shade and have always been very strong and resistant to breakage. However, I notice that when my nails grow to a certain length, the white tips turn completely transparent.
The skin on my hands is pulling away from my fingernails and no matter how much lotion I put on them, they look and feel so dry that when I straighten my fingers, I can feel the skin pulling on my index finger. It occurred to me yesterday that with the obvious swellings on my finger joints, the skin probably IS too tight! I'm 56, in good shape, athletic, but do have chronic Hepatitis C, which is where I usually post.
