What Your Nails Say About Your Health: White or Yellow Marks Could Signal Illness
**ISLAMABAD (Qudrat Daily)** — Our nails can reveal a lot about our overall health, often indicating issues with vital organs like the lungs, liver, and heart. Paying attention to changes in nail color and texture can help detect potential problems early.
**Key indicators to watch for:**
* **White Spots on Nails:** Small white marks can appear due to minor injuries, iron deficiency, lack of certain nutrients, or underlying heart and kidney issues.
* **Completely White Nails:** When most of the nail turns white, it could indicate liver problems, including hepatitis or jaundice.
* **Yellow Nails:** Yellow or reddish discoloration is often a sign of a fungal infection. Severe infections can shrink the inner layers of the nail, causing them to become thin and weak.
Experts advise monitoring nail changes closely and consulting a healthcare professional if these symptoms persist, as they can provide early warning of potentially serious health conditions.
