thebalanced.newsExperts Explain How Nail and Skin Changes Reflect Underlying Health Conditions
Changes in nails and skin, such as dry skin, brittle nails, and white spots, can indicate underlying health issues beyond cosmetic concerns. Experts note that hormonal imbalances like hypothyroidism, pregnancy, and menopause may affect skin and nail health. Nail abnormalities, including leukonychia or white spots, often result from minor trauma but can also reflect nutritional deficiencies or chronic diseases. Medical professionals advise monitoring persistent changes as they may signal systemic health conditions.
