What happens if there are blood streaks on the nails?

Nails are the keratinous shells at the ends of the limbs. Nails play a very important role. They are the main fixation device for people to grasp and pinch things. The morphological characteristics of nails can also reflect the health of the human body from the side and surface. Therefore, Chinese medicine also attaches great importance to nails. For example, what is going on when some people have bloodshot nails? Let’s take a look at the detailed answer below.

1. First, rule out vascular rupture and bleeding. If the nails bleed due to trauma, they are mostly fragmented bleeding spots, which will quickly turn brown in color, and will gradually move to the distal end of the nail as the nail grows. Of course, to confirm the diagnosis, you must see the diseased nail and do some relevant examinations. Due to some medical diseases, such as subacute bacterial endocarditis, peptic ulcer, hypertension, malignant tumors, rheumatoid arthritis, etc., linear or splinter-shaped bleeding may be seen under the nail, which is most common on the thumb and little finger.

2. If you have vertical grooved nails, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up. Because your condition may indicate a deficiency of vitamin A, calcium or iron. In addition, please note that you need to check at least once a year to see if you have anemia or any vitamin or mineral deficiency.

3. The appearance of black lines on the nails is probably caused by a lack of vitamin A, calcium or iron. It is recommended to eat more iron-rich foods on a daily basis.

Suggestions: Take more vitamin C at the same time to improve the ability to absorb iron.

Suggestions: Nails are mainly composed of protein. Paying attention to supplementing high-quality protein is a positive effect on the growth of nails. Protein-rich foods include: livestock milk, such as cow's milk, goat's milk, horse's milk, etc.; livestock meat, such as cattle, sheep, pigs, etc.
