My sister in law has nails that are lifting and underneath it looks like a proliferation of skin growing underneath.
A fungus infection has been ruled out and next week she is having 3 days of allergy tests as they wonder if she is allergic to something.

Dear Rochelle,
I saw this (nonhomeopathic) list of finger nail problems recently, in case it could help:

Pale, white nail beds can be an indicator of anemia or liver problems.
Horizontal ridges (sometimes called Beau’s lines) can indicate circulatory problems (like Raynaud’s disease), diabetes. Can also be caused by a severe illness, like a high fever or pneumonia.
Vertical ridges are not usually a cause for concern, but could be an iron deficiency.
Dry or brittle nails may indicate a vitamin A or iron deficiency.
Hang nails can be a sign of a lack of protein, folic acid, or vitamin C.
White bands may indicate protein deficiency.
Splitting nails may indicate hydrochloric acid deficiency.
Pits or depression in the nails are a possible sign of psoriasis.
Darkening of nails may indicate insufficient vitamin B12.
White spots can indicate zinc deficiency.
Yellow, thick, slow-growing nails are a possible indicator of lung problems.
Yellow-tinted nails with blue color at the base may be a sign of diabetes.
Half white, half pink nails can indicate kidney problems.
Red beds are a possible indicator of heart disease.
Rippling of the nail surface may indicate psoriasis or arthritis.
Inversion of the nail can indicate lung problems.
Red lines at the base of the nail fold can be a possible indicator of lupus or connective tissue disease.
Dark lines under the nail may indicate melanoma.
A nail coming off the nail bed can be an indication of thyroid disease, psoriasis, or an allergic reaction to nail products.

Best,
Margaret in Boston

Dear Margaret,

Guess what - she is on Thyroxin and the doctor said her levels of it in the blood were way too high last time she had it tested so it has been cut down slightly -put that together with acetone her manicurist uses now and again too soak off her gel nails which has had for 6 years (Not any more!!) and I reckon we have a causation!! Now put that with the hot wet flushes she is getting and the Sepia 30 I gave her today may just do something!! I wish she would go back to the homeopath she saw years ago.
