What is the reason for the black base of the newborn's nails?

When children are invaded by various germs, it will cause some abnormal physical conditions. Even children's nails can be invaded by viruses. The black roots of newborns' nails are caused by viruses. Let us understand what are the reasons for the black roots of newborns' nails?

The appearance of white spots and floc-like white clouds on the nail plate is mostly due to compression and collision, which causes damage to the nail matrix cells at the root of the nail.

The nail plate turns yellow, green, gray, black or other strange colors. The yellowing of the nail plate may be due to excessive consumption of foods containing carotene or genetic factors. In addition, yellow nails, green nails, gray nails, black nails, etc. are mostly caused by fungal infections. Hot and damp hands are prone to fungal infections. If someone in your family has a fungal infection, be careful to keep it in contact with your baby to avoid cross infection. It’s best to go to the hospital for treatment.

If the half-moon on the nail is red or light red, it is often a sign of heart disease; light red is mostly caused by anemia. You can take some baby blood-enriching oral liquid, or add iron-containing foods to the diet, such as soybeans, beef, spinach, raisins, etc.

The appearance of kidney-shaped protrusions on the nail plate and its becoming rough and uneven are mostly due to vitamin B deficiency. You can add egg yolks, animal liver and kidneys, mung beans and dark green vegetables to your diet.

In addition to viral invasion, during the process of physical development, if the calcium, iron, zinc, selenium, vitamins, or some other nutrients needed for the development of the newborn are not supplemented in time, the roots of the newborn's nails will turn black. Therefore, in order to give your child a good development environment, you can give your child some nutritional supplements appropriately.
