There is no crescent on the nail, indicating that the health is unhealthy? Some may have been 'misguided'

Most people have more or less "little crescents" on their fingernails, which is fine, but until the Internet spread that the more crescents on their fingernails, the healthier they are, many people who do not have crescents on their fingers start to panic. Are you unhealthy?

The crescents on the nails are actually just formed keratinocytes that have not been completely keratinized. Some of them are exposed and some are covered by the skin above. Because the cells in the middle of the nail bed grow faster than the two sides, they form crescent-shaped white marks.

There is no crescent on the nail, indicating that the health is unhealthy? Some may have been "misguided"

Why can't some people see the crescent moon on their fingernails?

The growth rate of nails depends on the speed at which the nail mother makes new cells. There are many factors that affect it, such as age, environment, body nutrition, whether the nail has been traumatized, etc. Therefore, the number of crescents alone can determine a person's body. There is no scientific basis for whether it is healthy or not.

Some people's nails grow relatively backward, and they will hide behind the skin, so they are easily covered by the skin of the nail root. In fact, some are just invisible.

Some people's nails grow slowly, and the keratinocytes have become translucent nails before they grow, so the crescent moon is invisible.

Therefore, there is no need to compare the number of nail crescents. More is nothing, and less is not unhealthy.

But one thing to note is that if you have crescents on your nails, but suddenly the crescents disappear, you need to be vigilant, such as malnutrition, certain diseases can cause this to happen.

In fact, it is not just the crescent moon, there are many rumors about nails on the Internet, such as vertical lines on the nails, which represent poor liver and malnutrition.

In fact, if you observe the people around you, you will find that almost all of them have vertical lines, which is a normal physiological phenomenon and is medically called "a longitudinal groove".

Such as white nails, often related to anemia. Onychomycosis is usually caused by a fungal infection. Nails turn blue, which often indicates lack of oxygen in the body, which may be related to certain lung diseases. Psoriasis can cause a large number of pitting in the nails. Kidney disease as well as liver disease or malnutrition can cause horizontal white lines on the nails, medically known as "Milk's lines".

remind:

Judging whether there is a potential disease in the body by observing some changes in the body requires a certain amount of medical common sense. The information on the Internet is mixed, so we cannot blindly believe that if the body is unwell, the correct way is to go to the hospital for relevant examinations. Instead of checking online, you can diagnose it yourself.
