Nail bed discoloration can be caused by various factors, including infections, medications, or underlying health conditions. Treatment depends on the cause and may involve addressing infections or changing medications.
Nail bed discoloration can happen for several reasons. Infections, such as fungal infections, can change the color of the nails, often making them appear yellow, green, or brown. Medications can also cause nail color changes, turning nails blue or gray. Additionally, some health conditions like heart or lung problems can lead to blue nails.
If you notice changes in your nail color, it's important to talk to a healthcare provider to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.
