Nail bed discoloration?
I have researched online and never have found an answer. What is it when the nail be is normal up to the tip near the end of the nail (tips) except there is a line that goes left to right that is slightly more pale. The lines are on all nails, the lines do not move and they are about 1-2mm in size. Looks kinda like there is a red line that goes across, but it is really the cut off where the lighter shade begins......hope I was clearNail bed discoloration?

Has anyone had carbon monoxide poisoning or know anything about nail polish discoloration in association?
i work in a dance studio and in the time of 4 hours my clear nail polish turned from clear to black- it isnt my actual nails just the polish, also the top joints of my fingers in the crease are black looking- anybody have anything for me on this?Has anyone had carbon monoxide poisoning or know anything about nail polish discoloration in association?
carbon monooxide is colorless and odorless so you notice dizziness, headache etc and it recovers within minutes of one stepping out, change in color of nail polish is unlikley to be CO poisoning, see a doctor if you notice any new symptoms, good luck

White Lab's with nail discoloration.?
I have a white lab and every now and then one of his toenails will turn all black. what causes this to happen? and what is it? : )White Lab's with nail discoloration.?
Well, from my experience, I know that dogs can be born with their nails black - but is unusual/odd that they periodically change colors.
It could just be dirt that is caking up around his nails, but if he licks his feet a lot that could be it as well. Saliva can turn hair and nails a brownish color over time. If he is licking his feet a lot, then its possible he could have some allergies that make his feet itch. It also wouldn't hurt to take him to the vet to rule out the possibility of a skin infection, especially if the skin is red.
Another possibility is a fungal infection. It's going to be hard to determine if he has a fungal infection without looking at a sample under the microscope, but that is a possibility as well. I have definitely seen dogs that have yeast infections or other skin problems develop brownish nails. If it does turn out to be fungal, then you're vet should be able to give you some wipes for his feet to help.
I would call your vet's office tomorrow and speak to them about it, they're the ones that will be able to make the best diagnosis!
Good luck!White Lab's with nail discoloration.?
Its normal. Even light colored dogs have some black nails.

Does thyroid mis-function cause nail discoloration?
I have noticed discoloration of my nails on my fingers (almost all of them) have some sort of streaks and some form of semi dark lines. It seems to have started after Sub Acute Thyroiditis 2 years ago. Even though my thyroid fuction seems to have retruned to normal but these discolorations on my nails remain. Can you comment on this issue please. My dermotologist says that it is conclusive that it is related to my thyroid misfunction and unfortunately there is nothing he can do or subscribe to make it better.Does thyroid mis-function cause nail discoloration?
Yes-I suffer from nail discoloration due to hypo-thyroidism myself and I found that zinc and calcium supplements have almost made them disappear : )Does thyroid mis-function cause nail discoloration?
Here are a few options. one - try soaking your nails in bleach for about 1 min. do that for one min, every day. for one week.
also if you paint your fingernails, all the time..... the lack of oxygen can discolor them . it happened to me. i had to keep the pain off for about 2 weeks and then i learned of the bleach when it happened to one of my fingernails. it works. i dont think thyroid problems will do that. my mom has a thyroid problem , and she said it your thyroid doesnt have anything to do with her nails.
I have hypothyroidism (reduced thyroid function), specifically Hashimoto's (my body is slowly destroying my thyroid gland) diagnosed 3 years ago. I've been taking replacement thyroid medication (Synthroid or Levathroid) for as long as well.
I haven't had any type of nail discoloration because of the thryoid condition.
Are the lines side-to-side on your nail or going from the cuticle to the tip? If they're side-to-side, that generally indiciates some temporary damage to the nail bed (stress, poor diet, physical damage) and should eventually grow out. ';White clouds'; are common. If they are cuticle to tip, then it sounds like something more permanent is happening with your nail bed and nail production. Have you noticed a change in your toe nails? Or your hair? That may be an indication of a significant mineral deficiency - either in your diet or the way your body processes/stores/uses calcium or some thing else.
It may be worth your peace-of-mind to consult an endocrinologist and find out if it could be a side effect of the subacute thyroiditis or other thyroid condition.

Nail Discoloration - remedies?
I thought I had a fungus on my toenail and it turns out there isn't one. It is just discolored. I heard about NonyX Gel. Apparently, it is a Keratin exfoliator and helps clear up discolored nails. Has anyone had any experience with this? Will it also help thicker nails? Any remedies for discolored nails if this doesn't work? Or any products you may have had success with?Nail Discoloration - remedies?
My toenails were dyed yellow from some green polish I had on them. I got some tooth whitening gel from the dollar store and painted them on my toenails a couple of times, and they were normal colored again. That's all I have to offer.Nail Discoloration - remedies?
Heya-
Try buffing the area. That gets rid of dead Keratin and ridges. Also gets rid of that nasty discoloration - buff hard though!
For future reference - always use a base coat under your polish - any brand will do. This stops the discoloration. Dark colors on your nails without a base coat create a build up of yucky stuff - so just remember your buffing and base.
Lemon juice is a natural whitener that may help as well. A good squeeze in a bowl of hot water and a soak then buff should do the trick.
try visiting a nail salon and ask them to help with this dilema
there is this stuff called bubble white it is sold at andy beauty supply store! All you do is pour a scoop of this powder in some warm water and stoak your toes and/or hand in it for 10 min! This stuff is awesome it bleaches them without the harmful chemicals!!
