Also, people (mostly women) who always wear nail polish tend to have yellowing of the nails, too. If they stop wearing nail polish, healthy nails will eventually grow out. But the lack of exposure to oxygen and light to the nails is thought to cause this discoloration. I met a lady who always wore nail polish. And, then, one day she didn't-- and her nails looked horrible. I rarely wore nail polish again, not even clear. Yuck.
I have a problem with a nail in my foot, after a hit on a soccer game the nail went off, and from then it's like 2 nails grow on my finger, it looks nasty, and the top nail tends to fall off easily. That was like 20 years ago, I was treated for a fungus infection but it didn't solve the issue, I was expecting to see it here.
Hearing you say "a 5th year medical resident specializing in rheumatology" motivates me in med school ❤️ Proud of you! Hoping to be in the same shoes as you are in right now soon.. 🥰
Yess!! Of all the subjects to study, I think the medical branch is both the most difficult and most fulfilling one out there. Good luck! You've already come this far! :)
I would love to be a patient of hers once she completes her residency in RA...as one who has no known family medical history, attacking and moderating through the treatments basically as a guinea pig all my life (50+ years)
I actually have the first one but it's more my toe nails and it's actually due to one of the things she said which is psoriasis(soon to be tested for a more specific form which is Psoriatic arthritis)
When I worked in a nursing home in my youth, I watched an old doctor examining the nails and fingers of his patients, then write out scripts. I asked the RN how could he know what was wrong with anyone by looking at their fingernails. She informed me that the state of the fingernails could provide insight about the health of an individual.
As a manicurist I’ve seen lots of mail pitting some it damage from artificial nails, some psoriasis & some arthritis. I always suggest clients to see a Dermatologist as soon as I see something strange like really dark marks that’s doesn’t seem to be pigment related or club shaped nails.
So wonderful to see someone so intellectually curious and passionate about the profession they're pursuing! I wish you a lifetime of this passion for medicine~
Since the early nineteen-hundreds the government in America has known how to cure 80% of all pathogen diseases they buried this information for the sake of money in their pockets here's my proof. m.th-cam.com/video/jVedWy9AwrA/w-d-xo.html&noapp=1
Excellent video. Not only did you explain the different diseases and conditions in few words but you kept things interesting without overtalking and boring me to tears. You went directly to the point...thank you!!!
This is my first time viewing your channel. You are great at explaining medical conditions with scaring someone to death. Very informative yet not intimidating. Hope your medical journey continues on the path that you are taking. All of your studies and sleepless nights will be well rewarded.
I've been watching you for so many years!! My son just saw a rheumatologist last week after seeing numerous doctors for joint issues. He's been diagnosed with Post Streptococcal Reactive arthritis. He'll be taking antibiotics for the next 2 years to treat it. It's from watching your more recent videos in the medical practice that made me decide to insist on a rheumatology referral. I'm so glad I did. He's only 11, so hopefully this will be resolved and not cause him long term problems.
I totally found this so informative. The presentation held my interest to the end. Very professional with a touch of realism. You have an upbeat personality while making your point!!!
Love this type of video. You explain it so well and I think everyone should know this information and they can get it checked out sooner then later when its too late. My nails went weird after getting chemo and radiation for colen cancer. I had an operation 3 years ago and thankfully so far I am cancer free. 2 weeks ago my nails finally looked beautiful. I was thrilled. No thickning of the nais, no lines in the nail. They were stronger and not breaking which was brilliant. This morning I looked at my nails and the lines are starting to come back. I just got my CEA results back today 4,9 which cheered me up no end because 3 months ago it had risen to 6,8 for no apparent reason (the only thing that changed was I got my covid vaccinations). Could this have been an infection that I had and thats why my nails changed or my CEA was higher then normal because of an infection? Sorry hope I explained this ok. Thanks for sharing all yr videos. Really enjoy them and I learn so much xxx
Congrats on making it to PGY5! I would love to see a video that talks about autoimmune inflammatory diseases like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, etc. and the links between the immune response, inflammation, and cancer. I find it both fascinating (and kind of disturbing) how our immune systems go and prevent potential cancers every day, but the same immune system if it is over-active and causing chronic inflammation can cause cancer.
This video was so helpful! We often get told in our OSCEs to comment on nail changes and we all just reel off whatever we can think of, but it's so nice to have a proper understanding of what we're looking at! So thank you! Definitely going to pass this video onto our year group :)
Thank you for making these videos. I think many of us tend to ignore what we think are superficial issues (especially in this covid pandemic) so it's very helpful to know what to look for and how quickly any of the issues need addressing. I love your presentation style and your "chirpy" upbeat tone. :)
Thanks. Driving with patients all day long and being aware of this is nice, because I sit and watch them while talking and could notice sickness that doctors haven't noticed
Thanks for the wonderful vlog... I thought of visiting my Doctor about my nail white spot...I little bit scared about what I see, but now I have that information...I can sleep so well...God Bless and thanks!
It's nice to see a doctor paying attention to details as opposed to an md quickly diagnosing and give you a med that you soon find out it doesn't work to give you something else that doesn't work either. But won't do testing to give you proper diagnosis.
I'm a nail tech and we use Shellac in our salon. I will be showing this video to my boss and coworkers to help our clients in a bit of education and tell them to go see their doctors. Thank you for this informative video.
Thanks for that interesting info. A close member of my family had tetralogy of fallot - she lived until just before her 60th birthday, and had those interesting round nails. As a kid I never knew they were associated with her heart issue until as an adult I read up on it. I on the other hand have a curious longitudinal banding on my nails for at least the last 15 years or so. Never had an explanation!
Would you please talk about ridges that go across vertically ( up/down) the nail? I developed them about a month or so ago on all my nails. Thank you so much!
I absolutely love your videos. I think I've learned more from you than the Rheumatologist that I've been going to for the last seven years. I don't know if you are aware of how they used to do the 'patch test'. They would mark off your back with an ink pen first. Next, they would prick your back with surenges containing the compounds that they wanted to test. I had this test when I was 9 with 100 different compounds. I would have welcomed the stickers.
Very nice 👍🏻 I really enjoyed learning about this! I especially enjoyed your enthusiasm and knowledge of these things! We need more providers like this! Stay just as enthusiastic and curious about every thing! Thank you very much!
At the very first moment i though your channel is more oriented to sharing doctor experience. So, i'm not that audience. But this video motivates me to subscribe to your channel. Looks so trustable and interesting.
No one ever mentions what I’ve experienced: my previously ridiculously strong nails now have vertical ridges causing my nails to split ,break and tear vertically. It’s maddening! And I had my brilliant rheumatologist test for any deficiencies that might be the cause - nothing turned up. Any thoughts?
This seems to be very common as we age, but no one seems to care about it except those of us it's happening to. It bothers me because this outward change could easily indicate a change that isn't good to our overall health.
The little window in normal nails was a great help. My nails look a little clubbed but they all have the window so I think they are actually filbert nails. Thankyou! XXX
A co-worker of mine said she was told she has ''Salmon patch'' on her nails ... can you expand on this in a future video ? Thank-you : ) & I LOVE your videos !
I really enjoyed this information. Because I have a rare disease and wondered if it would affect my nails. I must always keep an eye on my o2 saturation, a lot of times my nails show low saturation which you know. I'm putting this for those who are interested in health. I wish I could think of something else for you to research. :)
I kept having nail splintering for a while. My nails would also peel, crack, and come away from the nail bed. They are still weak so I keep them covered with gel polish, but the splintering and cracking has mostly stopped. I do have connective tissue disease and dysautonomia. I don't know if it is related or not.
My nails have a yellow tint and I was told it was due to nail polish and or sun exposure. But they aren't completely yellow and like the photos you showed.
My thin black lines get pretty long. If they're blood clots that seems to be where they are staying. Though I think I've had a few short heart attacks.
Didn't see my nail situation. Back to the doc for nail question, weird sharp lower abdomen pain & $??? pay. Need to find out even if between jobs (actually waiting for new job to begin).
The White flecks... I had them since childhood and was teased a lot. Since I was diagnose with lupus, I take omega 3 as well as calsiumand magnesium tablets, and the flecks all didsappeared. As soon as my tablets are finished and I skipped a week or two, they reappear. AIn secondary school I sometimes cut then out with a blade. They are on the surface
What I think about nail observations that I’ve recently seen in videos is, these types of videos, if noticed and correct diagnostic action taken, how many lives were and are saved via early diagnosis of observation of nails diagnostics just based on nail appearance?
Excellent presentation. Answered some of my questions. If the slivers of blood are from physical trauma, how long is average healing time. My great toe stubbed at least 2 months ago but still appears to have spots in the same place. I thought it would grow out with the nail.
I have like some sort of nail growing out of my neck. It looks like a small wart but that's not it. My mother says it's nail and I've had it since birth. It grows and when I remove it it grows back. It seems like I have a small group of cells in my neck that produce nail. From a distance it looks like a scar. I have no idea how it's even possible.
Ive had ridges on my nails my whole life and i have always had a superior level of health and i only get sick once every 5-7 years. This is not a rule of thumb edit: Im 54 now and not under any meds and in good health. My nails still have ridges. My grandpa lived to 95 and had the ridges too.
Very interesting to know..Thanks for sharing..but there are more marks on nails that you can talk about that I would appreciate..plz. and the tongue...also has a lot of exciting marks to diagnose.
Next see what HAIR LOSS says about your health!

I could just imagine any health care student thinking that they have what they are studying about atm.

Got so paranoid beacuse of a black stuff then next day skipped class and get tested lol

i had no idea a discussion of nails could be so transfixing!!! you continue to amaze us 🥰
Your Enthusiasm is a breath of fresh air. Thank you for who you are. Don't let the bastards grind you down. You are amazing.
As a rheumatology patient, I am so excited to have been along for your journey in medicine☺️
Love the energy and the genuine curiosity that u show! So grateful that we get to follow your journey on TH-cam!
Agree!
Im not evening medical related person, but i like how u explain things and get to know things...
Pity you didn't discuss vertical ridges. I have them on every nail and they're a real nuisance if you like wearing varnish. 😖🇬🇧
