Your nails have a funky color

Nails are supposed to be pink, but if your nails fall in another category of color, speak to your doctor. There are funky-colored nails that shouldn’t spark any worry, as the American Academy of Dermatology has mentioned, but they could also be a sign of many skin disorders.

For example, blue nails can signify that you’re not getting enough oxygen in your bloodstream. White nails can show liver disease or diabetes, while yellow nails can signify a nail infection or liver disease. Even more, dusky red half-moon nails are a sign of heart disease, arthritis, lupus, alopecia areata, or dermatomyositis.
