Why is the nail on my right thumb uneven?

There are many people who have problems with their nails in life. Here I would like to remind everyone that when the nails have dents, white spots, etc., it is a reminder that the body is in a sub-healthy state. Whether the nails are deformed or not also reflects the body's nutrition and health status. When the body lacks vitamins and calcium and zinc, it is easy to cause the nails to become uneven.

1. Because of zinc deficiency, you should pay attention to vitamin supplementation. Nails are a keratin structure composed of multiple layers of firmly connected keratinized cells. The cells are full of keratin filaments, so foods rich in protein and calcium are the basic elements for maintaining healthy, smooth and shiny nails. In addition, zinc, potassium and iron as well as vitamin A and vitamin B are also very important for the growth of nails.

2. If the intake of nutrients such as vitamins and calcium is insufficient, the surface of the nails will become rough, uneven, and dull. Uneven nails are caused by lack of calcium and zinc. You can pay attention to your diet and take some medicine to supplement them. If there are black lines on them, you can eat more iron-containing and red foods. It is not a big problem. You can also use compound ketoconazole ointment, which is mainly used to treat skin infections. Apply it to the affected area once in the morning and evening and in the nail crevices.

3. Changes in the five internal organs of the human body will be reflected in the nails accordingly. You can predict a person's health status by paying attention to subtle changes in their nails. If you want to tell whether your health is good or bad from your nails, the key lies in the color and shape of the nails. Healthy nails should be smooth and shiny, with no vertical or horizontal grooves on the nail surface, no interference spots on the nail, and the nails should be symmetrical, not skewed, without depressions or upward curling at the ends. Although there are many types of normal nails, no two nails are exactly the same.

4. Generally speaking, healthy nails can be divided into: ordinary nails, large nails, small nails, long nails, short nails, wide nails, narrow nails, etc. Usually the fingernail occupies 3/5 of the unthreaded length of the finger, is rectangular and arched, with the horizontal diameter of the top slightly larger than that of the base. The white crescent-shaped part at the base of the nail is called the nail lunula, commonly known as the nail white, which is symmetrically located in the center of each finger without any large offset. In fact, when all fingernails have appropriate white nails, it can be inferred that the human body is in good health.

5. If there is no whiteness or only a little whiteness on all 10 fingernails, it means that the body is exhausted or suffering from illness. The ideal white nail should occupy about 1/5 of the nail area. Too much white nail or no white nail at all does not mean that the body is very strong. The growth and shape of nails can be affected by changes in the body at any time. Especially from the color of the nails and whether there is normal white nails, it can be seen whether the person is healthy or is developing a disease.
