Healthy nails appear smooth and have consistent color.
Some changes in your nails that need attention are:
• Discoloration (dark streaks, white streaks, or changes in nail color)
• Changes in nail shape (curling or clubbing)
• Changes in nail thickness (thickening or thinning)
• Nails that become brittle
• Nails that are pitted
• Swelling, redness or pain around nails
• A nail separating from the skin
• Viral warts and fungal infection
