What causes moons on fingernails?
The matrix helps make new cells. These cells then come together and push out of the skin. The lunula, or lunulae in the plural, is the visible portion of the matrix, although it may sometimes be hard to see. Skin color and other factors may make the lunulae more or less visible.
What does the lunula say about your health?
Lunulae that have a blueish tint could suggest Wilson's disease, a rare inherited genetic disorder in which copper accumulates in the liver, brain and other organs. Red lunulae may indicate heart failure, research shows.
What does it mean if you don't have lunula?
Sometimes, you may only be able to see lunula on your thumbs, or possibly not on any fingers at all. In these cases, the lunula is most likely hidden under your skin. Though the connection is not completely understood, an absent lunula can indicate anemia, malnutrition, and depression.
Why is my lunula getting bigger?
What if my lunulae are large? Researchers don't know what causes the lunula to take up a significant portion of the nail. Some reports suggest that lunulae may signal issues with the cardiovascular system, heartbeat disruption, and low blood pressure.
