Specializes in Internal Medicine

Nail health: Single lines in a thumb nail can be a normal variant if they are small. However, your nails can also provide a signal for nutritional deficiency and can sometimes be a sign of other medical conditions. Best to talk with a general internist about your health and nutrition.
