What your nails can tell you about your health

Dr. Punam tells us about an issue she's been seeing more and more of lately... nail problems. We recently reported a rise in the number of people with allergies to gel nails, but 1 in 4 people are also affected by fungal conditions, and there are a number of signs your nails can show that indicate wider health problems.

We find out how dints in your nails can be a sign of psoriasis, inward-curved nails can be a sign of iron-deficiency, and white patches mean you need more calcium. Punam explains the best way to care for our nails, and how brittle, loose, or colour-changing nails are often not a sign of anything serious.
