I have black specks in my thumbnails, what are they and how do I get rid of them?

Answer 1

Have you hit them with a hammer or something like that? I would go and see your doctor to see what they say for sure. I don't know if the website below is true, but you can check it out. It could be a vitamin you are missing or something more serious. I will pray for your health.

Here is a website where they tell you more about your nails and spots: http://marthatierney.com/fingernails.html

black trauma, vitamin B12 deficiency
brown or black streaks
(vertical streaks end to end) melanoma
brown nails fungal infection
brown pitted spots, split
& thickening nails psoriasis
colorless anemia
dark nails (that are flat &/or thin) vitamin B12 deficiency
blue circulatory, heart or respiratory disorders, lupus, emphysema
red or deep pink tendency to poor peripheral circulation

Answer 3

Sometimes when a nail has been stressed it will have blood spots underneath it that turn dark after a while and look black. It might be something like that. Have you injured the nail lately?
