What causes uneven nails?

In daily life, many people's nails are uneven, which often takes a long time to deal with during manicure. But what exactly causes uneven nails? Many people don't fully understand this. In fact, there are three reasons for uneven nails. The first reason is fungal infection.

1. Causes of uneven nails

1. Fungal infection: Infection caused by bacteria due to lack of attention to personal hygiene can also cause uneven nails. If the symptoms of the nails are not only concave and uneven, but also yellowing and thickening, then it must be onychomycosis, which requires timely hospital examination and treatment.

2. Nutritional deficiency: Some people have observed that long-term hunger, finger paralysis or immobilization and other factors can cause slow nail growth. Iron deficiency anemia and Raynaud's disease, which causes acromial ischemia, can both cause uneven nails. This shows that uneven nails are also related to nutrition. Generally speaking: this type of diseased nail symptoms indicate a lack of calcium, protein, and sulfur in the body. These nutrients can be obtained from eggs and garlic, and patients are advised to consume them regularly.

3. Weather reasons: Autumn has arrived, the weather is getting cooler, and it will be even colder as winter approaches. The cold can cause blood vessels to constrict, slow blood flow, aggravate peripheral tissue hypoxia, and cause uneven nails.

2. How to prevent uneven fingernails

1. Do not borrow or share daily necessities such as shoes, socks, and slippers; do not share foot basins and foot towels with others. This is the key to preventing indirect infection.

2. Develop good hygiene habits, wash your feet and change socks frequently, and expose your shoes and socks to the sun frequently to keep them dry.

3. People with excessive sweating of hands and feet can use some treatment methods to inhibit local sweating. Summer is the peak season for tinea pedis and tinea manuum, so special attention should be paid.

4. Maintain good environmental hygiene and do not create an external environment for the growth and reproduction of pathogenic fungi.
