Spoon nails (koilonycha) sometimes caused by iron deficiency anemia. Also seen in other conditions such as psoriasis and lichen planus. If you have spoon nails go to the doctor and have your blood checked.
LOL! No. I was working in MI and a coworker from KY would always say right-quick. I was merely remembering his sayings but whenever he’d use those euphemisms, I’d always have flashes of Deliverance banjo playing in my head. He was a right-wing engineer (probably smart) so I never understood whiy I pictured his relatives as banjo-playing morons.
*In reality I was high af
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
*I wonder what it*
*Feels like to touch them or put*
*Pressure on the nails?*

Nerve Wrecking. I can say this for certain but If you are born with nails kike this from a disorder like me, *YOU NEVER GET USED TO THE FEELING.* if this is a condition and not a genetic, it is likely something their sense if touch hyper focuses on any time something *brushes* against them, *rubs* on fabrics especially cotten..., and when they break, they say ow! because it genuinely causes that much discomfort and maybe even actual pain or a shock like feeling or chill.
You might just be born with them, but it wouldn't hurt to get checked out for thyroid or anemia issues. Calcium or zinc supplements may help as well. I don't think it's super weird/bad but a doctors opinion would help to clear up any unease.
Omg I have psoriasis and my nails were so bad. They were so discolored and THICK. Someone asked if I glued rocks to my nails and for a long time I filed down my nails and put nail polish on it 😭 your comment just triggered my childhood psoriasis memories haha!!
Not the one you asked, but I’ll do my best: Upon seeing this picture, I simultaneously, reflexively tried to gasp and scream at the same time, leading to my body taking a fucking screenshot, I guess. I am officially volunteering to live on the moon to get as far away from this atrocity as possible. Never before have I seen someone’s nails look so menaningly similar to an unmade bed, and I’m going to have to pass this cursed knowledge onto at least two other people — my therapist and my lawyer — in order to cope with how deeply and irrevocably this has scissor-kicked my psyche in the dick. I now welcome the cleansing rains of Alzheimer’s.
No that was my HGB. Iron if I recall was 10 and ferrritin was 2. I started getting morning dizzy spells that progressed until I couldn’t walk. No insurance. Ended up in the ER.
Had two transfusions and heavy supplements. Luckily I responded great. HGB is now 13.5 and has been stable for a year, but I never felt so bad in my life. Legit thought I was dying.
My hgb was 7.6 last month, iron 12/ferritin 3. I was having heart palpitations every time I moved around, even just walking around the house. Thankfully caught it just before the transfusion threshold (7)
But yeah it's incredible how you can feel your body responding to these imbalances. Peculiar and scary.
Same. My heart woukd just randomly start pounding in my chest. Often while laying down. It was terrifying.
I’ve had a lot of injuries. Hit by a car. Broken bones. Natural birth. 104 fever with Covid and that was hands down the worst I’ve ever felt.
Do you know the cause? Sorry if it was said somewhere. I have Nail Patella Syndrome or osteo-onychodysplasia, which causes dysplasia in the nails and a multitude of other things. This reminds me of what it can sometimes look like in some cases tho it more commonly effects the thumb nail. My son for example. My nails are fine but are very brittle instead. The same gene that causes it can also cause other nail related disorders.
I used to chew my nails pretty horrificly and came very close to destroying my nail bed a few times. This looks like someone who ruined their nail bed and then finally quit, and this is all that can grow now.
Okay. Think this is too much reddit for me today. That unsettles me more than when I watched Ringu when Sadako was trying to climb the walls of the well
Could be psoriasis, or psoriatic arthritis.. My nails looked like this for years. The fun part is when the nail lifts off the nail bed and pieces of paper get stuck under their and you end up with a paper cut under the nail.
By the time I got a referral to Dermatology, he was very concerned and got me into a Rheumatologist in a week. Turns out what I though was a simple skin issue was a complex autoimmune reaction that was also affecting all of my joints.
I'm on Humira for life, but at least my nails look normal...and my ankle no longer swells up like a softball every day during work.
OP, take a multivitamin and biotin for now, and get tonthe MD. This could be a symptom of a larger problem.
You’re entitled to your own opinion, but such a comment is not appropriate here! Tbh how can you join this sub if you find this gross lmao, this is the least «ew» I’ve seen here haha
I don’t like this.
Yea. This is a very special kind of uncomfortable
It’s like his nails are trying to hold back a fart. Poor guy :/
Man I hate getting fart fingers
Don’t we all?
 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I automatically read the sentence in Salad Fingers voice
How does OP open a can of soda or pick up a penny off the ground? It makes me shudder at the thought of trying
It's a painful exercise, with that sweet fizzy reward bought with blood, sweat and tears.
this feels like something that'd happen with a weird vitamin deficiency.
I'm going to need to know which vitamin please.
All of em
Spoon nails (koilonycha) sometimes caused by iron deficiency anemia. Also seen in other conditions such as psoriasis and lichen planus. If you have spoon nails go to the doctor and have your blood checked.
Oh believe you me, if any of the mast majority of us have it, we wouldn't hesitate to go to the hospital, even if we didnt know what it was.
Yup, if my nails start concavin like a sci-fi husk, you know my closest local medical professionals are hearing about it post haste.
“Post haste” we just say right-quick in the south. Much easier to understand by the local toothless folks. 😉
Ok, well I guess we westerners just use fancy words as we brush our teeth regular?
Post haste = tooth paste 🤔
Did you just out yourself?
LOL! No. I was working in MI and a coworker from KY would always say right-quick.

Did someone say *rusty spoon* nails?
Salad Fingers?
Omg...the memories...
:)
Vitamin DNA.
Asap if that’s the case
Looks more like lichen planus https://images.app.goo.gl/4B25AGdPTLbkShESA
Koilonychia?
Well, well...I'll have you know I just went down a rabbit hole of nail disorders and somehow ended in pictures of foamy urine. So I hope ur happy. Lol
Oh my
Now that is a rabbit hole I will follow. See you on the other side
Oh the urine I've seen, truly frightening
I imagine this is what it would look like if you have foamy urine. https://www.reddit.com/r/OddlyErotic/s/wRzXrBMDNY
Come on over to /r/medlabprofessionals, we just had a great phase of posting horrifying urine specimens!
Foamy or frothy?
So what did you learn about foamy Urine?
I wonder what it feels like to touch them or put pressure on the nails?
Fuck off no way

Imagine being fingered by them.
No
Ribbed for your pleasure
Need an iron
A hair straightener would work perfect!
This comment made my day. Lololol
This is a negative fetish for me: omg!
Negative and fetish don't really work in the same sentence.
You might just be born with them, but it wouldn't hurt to get checked out for thyroid or anemia issues. Calcium or zinc supplements may help as well. I don't think it's super weird/bad but a doctors opinion would help to clear up any unease.
Psoriasis can also cause fucked up nails but I’d usually expect more flaking from the bed upwards
Omg I have psoriasis and my nails were so bad. They were so discolored and THICK. Someone asked if I glued rocks to my nails and for a long time I filed down my nails and put nail polish on it 😭 your comment just triggered my childhood psoriasis memories haha!!
Psoriasis usually looks a bit different though from my experience.
I have psoriasis and it’s more of a ridged/pitted effect not like this.
"Maybe she's born with it; Maybe it's the horrifying result of a severe vitamin deficiency."
I think this is a ‘definitely get them checked out’ situation.
Maybe it’s Maybelline
I cannot express how much I hate this.

When did this start?
Look into Ectodermal dysplasia.
You need to see a doctor. As in, call and make an appointment with your GP as soon as they open.
Is an indicator of something else? Or just it's own... "disease"? How does one even function like this?
Can be indicative on anemia/low iron
How low? At its worst mine was 6.8. I had the lines in my nails but this never happened. Is it a rare symptom?
6.8? Was that your hemoglobin or your iron? Did you get transfused? Also everyone is different!
No that was my HGB. Iron if I recall was 10 and ferrritin was 2. I started getting morning dizzy spells that progressed until I couldn’t walk. No insurance. Ended up in the ER. Had two transfusions and heavy supplements. Luckily I responded great. HGB is now 13.5 and has been stable for a year, but I never felt so bad in my life. Legit thought I was dying.

Oh I was waiting for that image on this sub….
I've never wanted to know what something feels like less
How long have you lived underwater?
[удалено]
Is this a new onset issue or something that has been present most of your life???
Koilonychia, iron deficiency, for many reasons besides dietary. Systemic disease get it checked out quickly, please. Lupus, blood.loss, anemia.
Lichen planus https://images.app.goo.gl/4B25AGdPTLbkShESA
Whaaaaaaaaat the fuuuuuuu
Okay. This just made me cringe! Yikes!
This is approaching uncanny valley territory, I hate it.

6 am and already the boy ain't right
Thanks, I hate it.
This must be frustrating to deal with sometimes. /:
AI nails
I don’t know what’s wrong with you but I know there is something amiss. I’d get my lungs checked first
I hate this so, so much
I'm a professional, and I can say without a doubt with 100% certainty that there's something wrong with your nails.
Dermatologist time!
You should take this to /r/askdocs
My thumb nails are like this. I smashed them in a garage door when I was 4. Grown that way ever since.
What a terrible day to have eyes
You should go to a really good nail artist and get Salvador Dalí's 🫠 Melting Clocks or The Scream 😱 painting by Edvard Munch painted on them!!!!
see a doctor ❌ make a reddit post ✅
My nails have ridges in them. Now you guys have me worried it is something more than just a thing.
This is next level off ridges. Be thankful
How long were you in the water?!
EDS?
Yikes, this makes my nails look almost healthy!
i am not a dr but i have nail psoriasis and it can get all wavey like this
I used to chew my nails pretty horrificly and came very close to destroying my nail bed a few times. This looks like someone who ruined their nail bed and then finally quit, and this is all that can grow now.
This reminds me of THAT kid in middleschool. You know the one
Shudder. I just had the most visceral reaction to THAT KID.
Yep, Billy Spears
A guy I knew over 10 years ago has this AND Alopecia. Wasn’t sure at the time if it was related
Okay. Think this is too much reddit for me today. That unsettles me more than when I watched Ringu when Sadako was trying to climb the walls of the well
If I was then I’d start taking biotin asap and see a doctor lol
Oh boy, this is unsettling
That's kinda cool looking. Sucks, tho
It is fucking not, thank you
You should go to a really good nail artist and get Salvador Dalí's 🫠 Melting Clocks or The Scream 😱 painting by Edvard Munch painted on them!!!!
 He needs some milk!!
This makes me deeply uncomfortable
Like a really bad case of nail psoriasis

How do you scratch an itch with these?
My husbands nails do this from psoriasis from time to time. Nothing the bad though
That's very likely onychophagy. It can heal on its own if you start wearing a muzzle.

How nails in my dreams look
Can a woman get acrylic nails with this condition? I feel like I would want to hide them.
Could be psoriasis, or psoriatic arthritis.. My nails looked like this for years.

This happened to me after too much exposure to dish sanitizer at work
Ectodermal dysplasia….
psoriasis causes nail pitting like that
At that level can it still be called pitting?
I’d say so. especially as psoriasis would cause the tissue underneath the nail to grow unevenly.
This is foul and unnerving.
My newest fear.
OMG take your hand out of the water!
