What if the color of the lunula changes?
Here again, we must remain attentive. A slightly bluish or purplish lunula may indicate poor blood oxygenation, while a grayish tint may be related to certain drug treatments or less efficient blood circulation. Red? This may indicate local inflammation.
In any case, the main thing is to monitor the evolution: if the change is gradual or affects several nails, it is advisable to talk to a dermatologist.
What your nails say about your lifestyle
Like skin or hair, nails — and their famous lunula — are a discreet reflection of our lifestyle. A clearly visible lunula can testify:
a balanced diet rich in nutrients (iron, protein, zinc, B vitamins),
a good hormonal balance,
and well-managed stress.
Conversely, a very pale or absent lunula can sometimes reveal a lifestyle that is too restrictive: an unbalanced diet, a restrictive diet, chronic stress or hormonal imbalances in the recovery phase.
