A normal, healthy nail bed is strong and typically has a pink appearance.
While a healthy nail bed is often pink, changes in color, texture, or the presence of spots or ridges can indicate potential issues. According to research, problems affecting the nails, such as white spots, ridges, thickening, and changes in color or texture, are common (reference). Therefore, it's important to monitor your nail health.
Here's a quick overview of what to look for in a healthy nail bed:
- Color: Pinkish hue.
- Texture: Smooth and without ridges.
- Strength: Strong and not easily broken.
