Nails can signal more than just aging. Many medical conditions can also alter their appearance. A dark streak may point to melanoma. Small pits in the nails can be associated with psoriasis or atopic dermatitis. Yellow nails may indicate rheumatoid arthritis or lung disease. Curved or “clubbed” nails can be linked to heart, lung, liver, or digestive conditions. White nails may suggest liver disease or diabetes, while very pale nails can be a sign of anemia. Blue nails may indicate low oxygen levels in the blood.
