Does Discoloration Of The Fingernail Indicate Any Illness?
I have been sick for at least 5 days, 3 times this year. Each time l have had the same house guest. This time its been 6 days and its not getting better. I heard that the coloration of ones fingernails can determine many things about someones health. I was noticing that my pinky nail is half white and half pink and there is a solid white line seperating the 2 colors....does this mean anything?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, you have not mentioned what kind of sickness you have, this is very much right that finger nail gives much information of about the systemic and chronic disease some time shows the sign of congenital disease, but this need to be examined by doctor this is very important part, as per your observation this could be sign of low hemoglobin, if your nail have some white color,, hope this information helps, take care.
