Nails are a mirror that reflects the state of human health, and are often the first to indicate serious diseases of the body. Diseases of the nails, in which their color changes, always cause great discomfort in a person and significantly reduce his quality of life.
Normal nail plates are pale pink in color. They are shiny and have slight fading in the center. At the posterior edge there is a white nail fold.
Pigmentation of the nail itself, as a primary change, is inherent in people of some nationalities.
The melanin, hemosiderin and hepatogenic pigments accumulated under its bed give the nail a different color.
The color of the nail plates changes in a number of diseases. The most common cause of discoloration is associated with a fungal infection (onychomycosis). When a fungal infection occurs, the nail plates change color, texture, shape and thickness. At different stages of the development of the disease, these changes are expressed in one form or another. In second place for the loss of primary nail color is psoriasis.
Among all the diseases that occur with changes in nail color, onychomycosis is the most common. With these diseases, color changes, shine is lost, stripes and spots appear, and the thickness of the nail plates increases. Over time, they become deformed, crumble, collapse, or become detached from the nail bed.
More often than not, nail plates with fungal infections become yellowish or brown in color. With trichophytosis - dirty gray. With rubromycosis and favus - yellow coloration.
Rice. 1. The photo shows onychomycosis (normotrophic type). The nail plate retains its configuration for a long time. In its depth, spots and stripes of white or deep yellow color are visible. Over time, the discolored areas merge.
Rice. 2. The photo shows a nail disease caused by the fungus Trichophyton rubrum (onycholytic type). The nail plate quickly loses its original color and becomes dull, acquiring a whitish or whitish-yellowish color. There is a rapid separation of the nail plate from the nail bed from the side of the free edge.
Rice. 3. The photo shows onychomycosis (hypertrophic type). This form of the disease is the most common. Up to 90% of cases are caused by fungi of the genus Trichophyton rubrum. The development of subungual hyperkeratosis entails a significant thickening of the nail, which over time loses substance, causing the surface to become “eaten away.” In its thickness, whitish spots and stripes of white and yellow are visible.
Rice. 4. The photo shows white superficial onychomycosis. The second most common form of onychomycosis. In 90% of cases, the disease is caused by a fungus of the genus Trichophyton interdigitale, which affects only the top layer of the nail plate, which never thickens or separates from the skin. Over time, its entire surface becomes loose, like chalk powder.
The causes of psoriasis have not yet been established. The disease is considered multifactorial. There is no doubt that changes in the immune system play a large role in the development of the disease. Nail plates with psoriasis change long before the appearance of the main manifestations of the disease - psoriatic plaques on the skin. The more the matrix is involved in the pathological process, the more pronounced the change in the nail plate, which over time completely loses its structure and color.
Rice. 5. The photo shows nail disease due to psoriasis. A characteristic sign of primary psoriasis is a narrow reddish-pinkish strip visible through the nail plate.
Rice. 6. The photo shows nail disease due to psoriasis. Under the nail plate, a reddish or salmon-colored coloration is visible, resembling a drop of oil in shape.
Rice. 7. The photo shows an erythematous-spotted form of psoriasis. Yellowish spots appear through the nail plate.
Rice. 8. The photo shows nail disease due to psoriasis. The structure of the nail plate on the matrix side is destroyed, the undamaged part has acquired a smoky color.
Leukonychia is the coloring of the nail plates white - from dotted and stripe-like to total.
The most common type is punctate leukonychia . It is caused by injuries during manicure. Leukonychia punctata occurs as a result of exposure to certain chemicals. Often the cause of punctate leukonychia cannot be identified.
Leukonychia punctata may transform into leukonychia stripe . It is assumed that this type of change in nail color is associated with changes in trophic nature. White stripes on the nails appear due to arsenic and thallium poisoning.
Total white coloring of nails (white nails or Terry nails) appears in 80% of cases in patients with cirrhosis of the liver. They are a symptom of kidney and heart failure, diabetes, iron deficiency anemia and malnutrition. White discoloration of the nail bed is seen with chemotherapy and excessive production of thyroid hormones. Scientists believe that Terry's nails appear when the number of blood vessels decreases and connective tissue grows in the nail bed. At the same time, the nails become matte. White nail plates are often found with onychomycosis.

Rice. 12. The photo shows white “Terry’s nails.” Total white staining appears in 80% of cases in patients with liver cirrhosis.
Rice. 13. The photo shows psoriasis. The nail plate is destroyed and has a grayish-white color.
Rice. 14. The photo shows arched lines on the nail plates (Murke lines). Occurs in patients with a reduced amount of protein in the blood. When the protein amount is normalized, the lines disappear.
A yellow color appears with a fungal infection, when the cause of the disease is red trichophyton and some types of mold fungi aspergillus.
Yellow coloration is observed in bronchiectasis, sinusitis, thyroid diseases and tuberculosis. It is often a sign of jaundice.
The nail plates turn yellow when taking the antiparasitic drug quinine and carotene. When using resorcinol, a yellow-orange color is observed.
The yellow color of the nail plate becomes due to frequent use of low-quality varnish.
With defects in the development of the lymphatic system, the nails slow down their growth, thicken, lose transparency, become yellow, and the lunula disappears. The disease is accompanied by swelling of the upper limb and periungual fold.
Rice. 15. The photo shows yellow nail plates due to fungal infection.
Rice. 16. In the photo, yellow nail plates are one of the syndromes associated with a number of diseases.
Brown staining of the nail plates is most often observed with onychomycosis caused by trichophyton red, chronic renal failure (in 40% of cases) and Addison's disease.
Nails acquire a brownish color in women during pregnancy, surgical interventions for diseases of the female genital organs, diabetes, malnutrition, thyroid disease, frequent use of low-quality varnish, use of certain medications (gold preparations, zidovudine, anthracyclines, etc.) .
Nail plates acquire a brownish-green tint due to candidiasis and aspergillosis.
Rice. 17. In the photo there is a nail disease - onychomycosis.
Nails acquire a black-green color when Pseudomonas aeruginosa develops in the loose structure of the nail. White, brown, green or black color is given to the nail plates by fungi of the genus Aspergillus. The disease most often affects the nails of the first three toes. Whitish spots or stripes are visible on their surface. Over time, the surface itself becomes soft, powdery and crumbly, grayish, brownish or green in color.
Rice. 18. The photo shows a nail disease caused by mold fungi of the genus Aspergillus.
Rice. 19. The photo shows a nail disease caused by fungi of the genus Candida albicans. The fungus colonizes weakened areas. More often, the nail plates on the hands are affected, which become discolored or acquire a brownish or greenish color and thicken. Sometimes the surrounding skin is affected, which causes pain. Wearing artificial nails contributes to the disease.
Rice. 20. The photo shows a nail disease caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (onychia pseudomonas). Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonizes in the cavities of the nail plates.
When broad-spectrum antibiotics tetracycline and minomycin are used, the nails turn blue; when trichophytosis occurs, they turn dirty gray.
The nail plates acquire a gray-blue color when taking the antimalarial drug quinine and the antiprotozoal drug chloroquine.
The color changes with an increase in methemoglobin in the blood. In some cases, methemoglobinemia develops during acute poisoning with aniline dyes, paracetamol, potassium permanganate, etc. and chronic intoxication with silver compounds (argyria). There is congenital methemoglobinemia.

Rice. 24. The photo shows a bluish coloration of all nail plates due to insufficient peripheral circulation (hypoxemia), which is most often caused by chronic heart failure. A bluish discoloration of the peripheral parts of the body is observed on the hands, tip of the nose, lips and ears.
Melanonychia appears by the age of 20 in 77% of people with black skin. However, if this happens to a fair-skinned person, you should be wary. In this case, it is necessary to rule out melanoma, the most malignant tumor in the world. This tumor, as it grows, affects the nail bed and is called subungual melanoma. The color always changes on one nail plate. Most often, the causes of melanonychia remain unknown.

Diseases on the nails bring a lot of discomfort and psychological problems. Not only fungus can occur on the nails, but also many other equally serious problems. Moreover, they are often only symptoms of some more serious diseases. If any diseases appear on the nails, this inevitably leads to a change in the structure of the nail plate. Try to find a time to visit a specialist who will help you get rid of this unpleasant illness.
If you see a shiny nail plate on your feet that has a smooth pale pink surface, then this is a sure sign that everything is fine with your health. Unfortunately, no person is immune from the appearance of diseases on the nails, which are the result of serious problems in the body. So, a similar problem may arise for the following reasons:
Even by looking at your toenails, you can determine that some kind of virus has settled in the body, or that an exacerbation has occurred. So, any changes on the nail plate are evidence that you should pay attention to the general condition of your body.
If you notice that your toenails have acquired a yellow tint, and even blue discolorations have appeared near the nails, then consult a doctor to rule out the presence of diabetes.
The nails of people who suffer from liver disease become white.
Due to oxygen starvation, the nails on the toes, and on the hands too, acquire a blue tint.
The nail plate may become pale. Most likely, the person has anemia or some kind of kidney disease, which is also recommended to be immediately checked with a specialist.
But lung diseases manifest themselves in the form of slow growth of nails, they can also become thicker and turn yellow.
Perhaps one of the most serious and common causes of nail problems is toenail fungus. Scientifically, this disease is called onychomycosis. What is it? These are pathogenic microorganisms that spread and grow quite quickly. If you do not start treating the disease immediately, then later therapy will be too complicated and lengthy. The fungus multiplies especially well at high humidity and air temperature. What are the reasons for its appearance?
Toenail fungus varnish is very helpful in treating this disease. However, it is often quite expensive, and it is not suitable for everyone, so it is better to purchase it only after the recommendation of a specialist.
There are many signs by which you can accurately determine the presence of fungus on your nails. First of all, thickenings appear on the nails, which are simply impossible not to notice. Also, the nails begin to crack, and this causes great inconvenience and pain. The color of the nail plate can change greatly, most often it becomes yellow. Nails begin to break and peel a lot. Not only the nail plate itself is affected, but also the surrounding skin. The skin begins to burn, itch, and clearly visible redness appears. And also, do not be surprised if your toenail turns blue, since this may not only be the result of a blow.
As for the early stages, the nails become dull, lose their shine and healthy color, and yellow spots may even appear on the surface. If you contact a specialist in time, you can quickly and easily get rid of the fungus. To understand that the fungus has begun to progress, it is enough to simply observe the changes on your nail plate. It may become a little bumpy, the tissues become very inflamed, the nail plate is completely destroyed, and its shade changes. You may even see black toenails, which is a clear sign of fungus.
Platonychia cannot be confused with another disease, since its obvious sign is a flat nail plate. The disease is treatable, but only if it is not a congenital pathology. This disease leaves no toe untouched. There are a number of reasons why platonychia may occur:
Pathology can be cured only if you know exactly the cause of its occurrence, and the cause can only be determined under the supervision of doctors. Moreover, in order to accurately establish why platonychia occurred, it is necessary to observe whether there are any other symptoms.
So, if, in addition to the fact that the nail plate has become smooth, it has also acquired a bluish tint, then the cause is VSD, gastritis, or poor circulation. But if the nails simply begin to break and become dry, this means that the body lacks any vitamins, the supply of which urgently needs to be replenished.
It is quite simple to identify such a disease, since a transverse arcuate groove appears on the entire surface of the nail plate. There are many reasons for its appearance, you need to know about them:
You can only get rid of this disease if you manage to overcome all the pathologies that influenced its development.
The micro prefix itself indicates that with this disease the human nail plate is greatly shortened. Micronychia is especially often diagnosed in those people who have the bad habit of biting their nails. The causes of this disease are quite serious. And you can get rid of the disease only after completing the full course of treatment. So, the following diseases become the cause of micronychia:
Sometimes it happens that various inflammatory processes occur on the fingers, as a result of which the nail pierces the skin and can grow. This also happens if a toenail is cracked and this piece is deeply embedded in the skin. It is quite difficult not to notice such a problem, since there is severe pain, swelling, pus may even be released and the body temperature may rise. There are several reasons for nails to grow into the skin of your feet:
To get rid of this disease, you need to undergo a number of procedures. First of all, the surgeon removes the piece of the nail plate that has grown into the skin. Next, the patient’s task is to regularly take foam baths with the addition of antibacterial agents. Be sure to wash your feet and not neglect the rules of personal hygiene. You should choose only high-quality shoes, and women should avoid high heels. It is recommended to visit only experienced and trusted pedicurists who will not make mistakes during the procedure. It is necessary to combat sweaty feet for those who are faced with this problem, since fungus may develop. In especially advanced cases, the doctor is forced to remove some part of the nail plate.
This disease has its own characteristics, by which it can be easily identified. The nail plate becomes thinner, longitudinal stripes appear, and the shape of the nail changes. There are quite a few reasons for the appearance of atrophy:
You can completely get rid of atrophy only if you follow a diet. In particularly difficult cases, the doctor is forced to resort to removing the nail plate. Dermatologists prefer to carry out the following course of treatment:
For almost each of the above diseases, prevention has the same points.
First of all, you should wash your feet daily and do not neglect the rules of hygiene. Try to choose only high-quality shoes that do not restrict your movements. Before going outside, make sure your shoes are dry and fresh. You cannot use other people's things (socks, slippers, boots, towels) when visiting places such as a bathhouse, shower, sauna, or swimming pool. It is not even recommended to walk barefoot on the floor in an unfamiliar room. You should also undergo regular examinations by specialists to eliminate factors that can cause diseases on your toenails.
Traditional treatment for toenail fungus gives good results, so you should write down a few recipes for yourself. They will help not only cure diseases, but also prevent their occurrence.
If you notice the first symptoms of toenail disease, then take a teaspoon of tea tree oil, half a teaspoon each of orange and olive oil, as well as grape seed oil. All this must be mixed and a cotton swab moistened in the mixture, and then applied to the affected nails and left until completely dry. This procedure should be carried out twice a day.
As for traditional methods, the doctor will be able to prescribe treatment for toenails only after diagnosis. Most often, various ointments are prescribed. However, varnish for toenail fungus can often be used.
Healthy nails indicate good health and satisfactory health. They have a peach or soft pink color, even and smooth. If a sudden change in the color of the nail occurs, this may be a sign of a disease both in the nails themselves and in the entire body as a whole. They can change their color only on the hands or only on the feet, and as a result of some diseases, the color of the nails on both the hands and feet changes.
A change in nail color is called dyschromia. Nails can change color as a result of various diseases. In this case, both the shape and relief of the nail, as well as its color throughout the nail plate or in its individual areas, may suffer.
The reasons for this may be:
The nail may completely change its color, or it may have stripes, specks, spots from white to almost black. In parallel with the change in color, there may be deformation of the nails.
A black or dark cherry tint usually occurs after an injury when bleeding occurs under the nail. If the entire nail is injured, it may separate from the nail bed. Nails become blue due to hemochromatosis, circulatory disorders, Wilson's disease, taking silver preparations, and antibiotics.
Red or brown dots are the result of infective endocarditis or minor nail injuries.
White spots on the nails are a sign of a lack of calcium or zinc, fungal infection, especially in combination with cloudiness and dullness of the nails.
Changing the color of the nail in the lower part is a problem with the kidneys.
Yellow or yellow-green color of nails is a pathology of the lymphatic system, damage to the respiratory system or a sign of oncology, a diseased liver, or diabetes.
An examination by a dermatologist or nail specialist is necessary. An inspection and examination for fungal damage is carried out. If pathology of internal organs is suspected, consultation with specialized specialists is necessary. Bacteriological culture of the nails and microscopy of a nail fragment are performed.
The basis of treatment is to eliminate the cause of nail damage. Typically, a new nail will grow in 12 to 20 months.

If you are reading this article, therefore, you are interested in the question: “What to do if a toenail or hand nail comes off?” This such an unpleasant condition has a simple name - onycholysis, which in medicine means the detachment of a plate from the soft tissues of a toe or hand. After this, a small void is formed, as a result of which the plate begins to change its color. In some cases it takes on a bluish-white tint, while in others it turns yellow and brown. All these external signs are not very attractive.
If the nail comes off, this may indicate the non-infectious nature of the disease. Non-infectious causes are most often associated with a toe injury, then its appearance already occurs under the direct influence of physical, mechanical and chemical factors. If the skin regularly comes into contact with various allergens, for example, such as solvents, washing powders, chemical reagents, then it is urgent to get rid of this exposure.
The plate on the toe can come off as a result of skin diseases: psoriasis, eczema, bullous dermatoses, atopic dermatitis. The cause may also be a fairly long-term use of fluoroquinolone or tetracycline antibiotics, since one of the side effects of such drugs is precisely onycholysis. In this case, you need to have a lot of patience, and after stopping the drug, the symptoms of the disease disappear after a few months.
If the tip of your finger comes off, it could be a symptom of various infections. In this case, the main danger lies in fungal infections of the skin. If you just notice symptoms of a fungal disease, you should immediately contact a specialist,
Usually the fungus appears on the toes, but sometimes this trouble also affects the fingers. Getting rid of fungus is necessary so that your nails become not only beautiful, but also healthy. If your toenails or fingernails have turned yellow, greenish, or brown, check out these natural fungal remedies.
The medical name for this disease is onychomycosis. but in ordinary life we just call it nail fungus. Most often it affects men. Typically, the fungus affects the big toe nail. Sometimes the fungus affects the fingers; women experience this more often.
If the fungus affects one nail, it can easily spread to all the other nails of the same hand or foot, or even move to the other hand or foot (but not from hand to foot and vice versa - such cases are very rare).
Often the reasons for the appearance of fungus lie in the environment. Too high humidity and air temperature, wearing closed shoes for a long time, long hours spent in the pool - all this can lead to fungal nail infections. At risk are people who are constantly in contact with water, for example when washing dishes or cleaning the house, as well as people over 60 years old, suffering from diabetes, having circulatory problems or weak immunity.
Once the fungus affects the nail, it becomes rougher and thicker and turns yellowish in color. In some cases, the shade may be gray, black, green or brown. As the infection progresses, it affects the entire nail, and there is a risk that it will fall off. The skin under the nail becomes red, swollen and itchy.
Fingernails typically turn yellow or brown, crack, and are easily damaged.
A person's health can be judged by the appearance of his toenails and fingernails. The appearance of an unnatural color indicates a malfunction in the body and requires specific treatment. If the nail plates become blue or purple, then the problem lies in the functioning of the cardiovascular or pulmonary system. But why does the nail on the big toe turn yellow? In this case, the cause is fungal and sexually transmitted diseases, genetic predisposition and many other factors.
In medical practice, there are many reasons that lead to yellowness of the nail plate. Sometimes the etiology is due to external influences - nail polish, household chemicals, etc., in some cases the body signals a serious illness.
If the reason lies in the varnish, then, as a rule, no additional symptoms are present, nothing hurts, the skin is of a natural color, and there is no swelling or puffiness. Some varnishes contain formalinic acid, toluene, camphor oil and other chemical components that have a toxic effect on the liver, causing the skin appendages to turn yellow. Of course, the negative effect is not observed from the first use, but only after prolonged use with frequent “updating” of the manicure.
Advice: to protect your nails from the negative effects of the chemicals found in varnishes, you need to choose products that say “Big 5 free” or “Big 3 free”.
Using certain medications for a long time. For example, Ciprofloxacin, Doxycycline;
Smoking. If the cause is cigarettes, then they usually turn yellow on one hand, most often the thumb, index and middle fingers are affected. The clinical picture is complemented by an unpleasant odor;
For yellowing fingernails
The color and shape of the nail plates are excellent indicators of health. The changes that occur with them indicate the presence of a disease or the emergence of a pathological process. If your toenails have turned yellow, become ribbed, wavy, smell bad and are peeling - all these are symptoms of ailments that need to be paid close attention to.
The causes of yellow toenails can be completely different. The appearance of this unpleasant symptom is due to both external and internal factors:
1. The most common cause of yellowness on the nail plate is acute and chronic liver diseases. First, the nails acquire an uncharacteristic shade, then the whites of the eyes and skin.
2. Imbalance of microflora. A lack of beneficial microorganisms in the intestines and disturbances in its functioning can also cause yellowing.
3. The nails on the big toes turn yellow, peel and break off unevenly in cases where they are affected by various types of skin fungi.
4. There is a pathology called “yellow nail syndrome.” It occurs periodically in people older than middle age. In this case, not only the nails turn yellow and peel, but also problems with swelling of the legs and lung function appear. If such symptoms are observed, it is necessary to do fluorography to detect tumors in the respiratory system.
6. Pathological changes can be caused by disruption of the protective and nervous systems. When the immune system deteriorates, the nails and hair are the first to suffer, followed by unpleasant deformations that appear on the skin.
Some are inclined to argue that a truly beautiful manicure necessarily requires the presence of long nails as a base. Of course, such nails usually look spectacular; they open up a wide range of views to the owner.
7. Failure to comply with personal hygiene rules, neglect of daily foot washing, pedicure. The nail plates must be carefully monitored so that they do not become deformed, grow into the skin or peel off (about such problems and their treatment, see
Yellow nails are not only a cosmetic defect, but also an indicator of possible ill health in the body, since the cause of such nail problems can be endocrine, cardiovascular and other serious disorders.
1. Long-term use of certain medications: tetracycline antibiotics, arsenic drugs, quinoline drugs.
2. External influence of various chemical compounds. This could be nail polish, nail polish remover, or household chemicals. As a rule, the negative impact of such products affects only the exposed part of the nail. If you don't let your nails "rest" without polish, it won't lead to anything good. As a result of constant staining, nails become brittle, weak, their surface is deformed and a yellowish color appears.
4. Smoking. Over time, the nicotine and tar contained in cigarettes accumulate in the body, causing discoloration of the nails. Quitting tobacco is the best way to maintain good health and solve the problem of yellow nails.

Onychogryphosis is a congenital nail disease in which the nail plate has longitudinal and transverse striations and a claw-like shape. With onychogryphosis, the nail plate thickens (hyperonychia), becomes unusually hard, dull, dirty yellow or brown, reaches a length of several centimeters, rises and bends to the side, resembling a claw or a ram's horn.

Good afternoon Galina! The disease of the nail plate that you describe resembles onychomycosis (fungal disease of the nails). If the nail begins to crumble, then this form is called the atrophic form of onychomycosis. To radically solve the problem, I recommend that you take an antifungal drug orally. Removing the nail plate without taking an antifungal drug orally does not guarantee a cure for this fungal disease. Among antifungal drugs (after consultation with a dermatologist), you can choose Fungoterbin or Exifin (250 mg) take 1 tablet 1 time per day (strictly after meals) for 2 months. Simultaneously with oral administration, you can apply cream Terbifin or Termicon or Terbizil 2 times a day (also 2 months). Sincerely, Galstyan T.A.

Hello, my name is Alexander, 29 years old, height 193 cm. Weight 81 kg. Temporarily not working due to a TBI (subacute subdural hematoma), removal by trepanation. Yesterday I noticed changes in my nails.
For no apparent reason - the child’s fingernails began to peel off as if he had been hit or pinched his fingers - although nothing like this had happened - don’t tell me.
