Pale nails

Are your nails pale or white? This might indicate a low red blood cell count. White nails can also suggest various conditions such as trauma, liver disease, diabetes, an overactive thyroid, heart failure, heavy metal poisoning, chemotherapy, or a lack of nutrients in your diet.

If your nails are mostly white with a thin pink strip at the tip, you might have Terry’s nails. This condition can occur as a result of aging, but it could also be a sign of underlying health issues such as diabetes, kidney, liver, or heart disease.
