A member asked:
My 12 yr old boy has brown finger nails and toe nails. is that a anemia or vitamin deficiency? he's tried a lot.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Brown nails: 5 things come to mind:1)fungal infection 2) zinc deficiency also known as acrodemaritis enteropathica 3) smoking unlikely 4) darier disease (keratosis follicularis) or 5) iodine poisoning. Better to see a good internist or dermatologist or a good podiatrist. Thanks.
