Why is the color of my skin under my fingernails on my ring fingers pinker than the other nails.?

Question

I just noticed this when one fingernail broke back really far. Then in a few days I realized both of the nails had pinker skin under the them than all the others. The one that broke way back has now grown out but it has ridges. What could be the cause?

Answer 1

Sounds like you may need more Iron in your diet?

And perhaps more exercise.
