Causes of indented toenails

The condition of sunken toenails may be caused by poor blood circulation due to long hours of work or onychomycosis. Therefore, for some friends who engage in physical labor, you will see that their toenails are sunken. It is recommended that patients with sunken toenails caused by onychomycosis should seek timely treatment to avoid affecting the normal condition of other nails. I hope you can pay attention to this.

Concave toenails may be caused by onychomycosis. Patients must pay attention to it. If it is onychomycosis, they must seek treatment in time, because onychomycosis is highly contagious and recurrent, and it is a stubborn and difficult to treat chronic disease. If it is not onychomycosis, it may be that the body lacks vitamins and has poor gastrointestinal function, resulting in poor absorption of nutrients. Therefore, in daily life, you should pay attention to regulating the gastrointestinal tract, strengthen your own exercise, eat a reasonable diet, and eat more foods containing vitamins and protein.

Generally speaking, nail depression may be normal for some people and do not indicate any disease, but it is a very important sign for us. The reason why we ask you if you are a female is because it may indicate iron deficiency anemia. Due to the special reasons of women, blood loss may cause excessive loss of iron, affecting the function of the hematopoietic system and resulting in iron deficiency anemia.

Among people with nail depression, there are more people who do heavy physical labor than those who do light physical labor, more people on the right hand than on the left hand, and more people on the thumb, index and middle fingers than on the ring finger and little finger. This shows that under the same conditions, the intensity of labor has a certain impact on nail depression. High labor intensity and high oxygen consumption of fingers can aggravate nail hypoxia.

Factors such as long-term hunger, paralysis or immobilization of the fingers can cause nail growth to slow down. Iron deficiency anemia and Raynaud's disease, which causes acromial ischemia, can both cause nail pitting. This shows that nails have a certain relationship with nutrition. Later, it was discovered that the level of hydroxylase in the nails of patients with anemia was decreased, and the level of hydroxylase in patients with nail pitting was very low, thus believing that the lack of hydroxylase was an important factor in the occurrence mechanism of nail pitting.

The article introduces the causes of indented toenails in detail. I hope you can remember it well. If your parents are engaged in physical labor, you will observe that their toenails are concave. This is mainly caused by lack of oxygen in the toenails. You don’t need to worry too much about this situation as it will not affect the body.
