Fun With Toenails
December 3, 2009 by: ToddieMA couple of miscellaneous facts about what your toenails can tell you:
1.) A permanent line is left across the toenail (until it grows out) which indicates the presence of a 7-10 day fever.
2.) A slow return to it’s normal pink color upon squeezing of the nail, indicates poor circulation.
3.) If your entire nail is blue, this can indicate repetitive trauma caused by the shoes (perhaps improperly fitted).
4.) A portion of the toenail turning blue indicates general trauma.
