Black lines on multiple nails

2021-05-26 11:27:45
Age: 20 Years/Male. It's been 2 months since I started getting gray lines on the middle finger nail and thumb nail of my right hand, and thumb nail of my left hand. No trauma inflicted in recent memory. The width of the line hasn't changed (Line on middle finger of right hand= 1mm wide, Line on thumb of right hand= 1mm wide but very faint, Line on thumb of left hand= <1mm wide but visible) Attached closeup pictures are of middle finger of right hand and thumb of left hand. Should I be worried? My blood reports are normal, although I didn't get tested for iron deficiency.

This could be coz of basic Vit Deficiency or even sometimes iron deficiency leading or splinter haemorrhage when blood vessels under the fingernail are damaged. If its progressive and not improving with time preferably consult ur Dermatologist.
Health Tips
increase ur Biotin intake and get ur Iron Def sorted.
