Slight orange discolouration of my left big toe nail. Read that it can be the 1st sign of serious health issues?!? What causes this?
24 year old male. Horizontal ridging in toenails. Nail feels a bit rough. Mainly in big toe and toe next to big toe. Fingernails not affected. Normal?
So on my big toe nails, and nowhere else, I have horizontal ridges about 3/4 the way up the nail. they are very very minor indents and you can hardly see them only very mildly feel them. Can this be normal nail anatomy or are these likely beau lines?
