Patient's question:
The appetite is quite large, and the height is taller than peers since childhood to now. The past treatment conditions and effects: didn't care about what kind of assistance: what should be done, how to treat...Doctor's answer:
A keratinous structure formed by multiple layers of interconnected, firmly keratinized cells, the cells are filled with keratin filaments, so foods rich in protein and calcium are the fundamental elements for maintaining healthy, smooth, and glossy nails. Additionally, zinc, potassium, and iron, as well as vitamins A and B, are also very important for nail growth. Therefore, nails can reflect the nutritional status of the body. If there is a lack of vitamins, calcium, and other nutrients, the nails may again appear rough, uneven, and lack luster.Advice: Nail unevenness is often due to calcium and zinc deficiency. Pay attention to your diet, and you can also take supplements. If there are black lines, you can consume more iron-rich and red-colored foods for nourishment. It's not a serious problem. You can also use a compound clotrimazole ointment, which is primarily used for topical application to treat skin infections. Apply it once in the morning and evening to the affected nail grooves.
The above advice is for the question "My 12-year-old son's fingernails are uneven—what could be the reason?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
