A member asked:
I read that if the top line of the lunula is anything but a smooth curve (broken, jagged) that the body is in a grave state. is this true?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: The lunula is a crescent shaped white patch at the base of the fingernail and represents the top-most portion of the matrix which is the tissue from which the entire nail grows. Some pathologic states (diseases) accompany changes within the lunula and can indicate systemic disease but it is never a test to be utilized in and of itself to give a proper diagnosis.
