Sometimes when there are health issues, they can also appear on the nails, such as uneven nail surfaces with scars and white spots. So sometimes parents will check regularly to see if their baby's nail growth is normal. But some babies may experience nail layering, so what is missing from this baby's nail layering?
Some babies lack vitamins and calcium elements, which can easily lead to nail layering. Nails are composed of dead cells, mainly composed of keratin to form the nail structure. Due to the active cells on the nail bed, they constantly squeeze the dead cells, which is why nails continue to grow. Whether nail growth is normal can directly reflect the health status of the body.
So the reason why little babies have layered nails is due to a lack of vitamin A or C, as well as B3, B6, calcium, iron, and other trace elements. These deficiencies can easily cause nail layering. And in severe cases, it can also cause thyroid diseases, so as parents, we must pay attention to the frequent occurrence of nail layering in babies.
It is recommended that if accompanied by nail layering, the baby's mental state is not good, and they often cry and have severe hair loss, it indicates a serious deficiency of trace elements in the body and must seek medical attention in a timely manner. And based on the inspection results, supplement the corresponding trace elements. In addition, it is important to consume more calcium rich foods and fruits and vegetables that are rich in vitamins in one's diet. This can also help supplement the body with vitamins and other trace elements.
