Why are my child's nails uneven?

I believe everyone knows that normal and healthy nails generally look smooth and shiny. But now we find that some children's nails are uneven. The uneven nails of children must be caused by some reasons, because under normal circumstances, children's nails will not be uneven. So, what’s the matter with children’s uneven nails? The following is an introduction to you.

1. Nutritional deficiency: It has been observed that long-term hunger, paralysis or immobilization of fingers, etc. can cause slow growth of nails. Iron deficiency anemia and Raynaud's disease, which causes acromial ischemia, can both cause uneven nails. This shows that uneven nails are also related to nutrition. Generally speaking: this type of diseased nail symptoms indicate a lack of calcium, protein, and sulfur in the body. These nutrients can be obtained from eggs and garlic, and patients are advised to consume them regularly.

2. Weather reasons: Autumn has arrived, the weather is getting cooler, and it will be even colder as winter approaches. The cold weather can cause blood vessels to constrict, slow blood flow, aggravate peripheral tissue hypoxia, and cause uneven nails.

3. Fungal infection: Infection caused by bacteria due to lack of attention to personal hygiene can also cause uneven nails. If the symptoms of the nails are not only depression and unevenness, but also yellowing and thickening, then it must be onychomycosis, which requires timely hospital examination and treatment.

It can be seen that there are many reasons why children's nails are uneven, which may be due to malnutrition, weather reasons or fungal infection. Therefore, if parents find that their children's nails are uneven, they should pay attention to all aspects of the children, help them solve the problem, care for the children, and let them grow up healthily. It is important. Of course, it is best to consult a doctor.
