When to seek medical help right away?
If the lunula suddenly changes color, disappears completely, or becomes unusually deformed—especially if accompanied by signs such as intense fatigue, brittle nails, a pale complexion, or difficulty breathing—it’s best to speak to a professional. The doctor may suggest a simple blood test to assess the situation.
People suffering from endocrine disorders, heart problems, or diabetes also benefit from incorporating nail monitoring into their routine care.
