Changes in nails may signal health issues not always clear
Dear Doctor K explains nails can reflect past illness and highlight red flags. Vertical ridges, thickening, and color changes can occur in healthy people but may indicate conditions like clubbing from lung disease, psoriasis, endocarditis, or fungal infections. Seek medical advice if nail changes align with serious symptoms.
