What causes pink fingernails?
Sometimes it might be a fungal infection or injury, but your fingernails can sometimes indicate a more serious underlying problem, such as problem in the liver, lungs or heart. When the nails are healthy, they have a pink color and the moons near the nail base are light pink to white color.
What does a white fingernail indicate?
If the nail bed is predominantly white with darker rims near the top, this can indicate liver problems such as hepatitis. According to WebMD, pale fingernails can also indicate problems with anemia, liver disease or even heart disease.
Why are the tips of fingernails white?
When the white spot or line is caused by damage to the nail, the condition is known as true leukonychia. With true leukonychia, the white areas remain unaffected when pressure is put on them. These areas will grow out as the nail does. Apparent leukonychia occurs when the bed underneath the nail is affected.
