6 major nail problems for children
This is a fungal infection. Part of the nail will turn white and thick, so it is not difficult to distinguish. If necessary, you can cut a small amount of the problematic part of the nail for fungal culture. The problem is in the treatment, because oral antifungal drugs have greater side effects, so most of them can only be applied topically. However, the effect of the latter is limited, and doctors can only consider how to adjust the treatment method according to individual cases.
This kind of situation must have a clear history of injury. In addition to the bruises on the appearance, the blood vessels under the nail burst and bleed, and there may be severe pain due to the increased pressure under the nail. The first aid method is to make a small hole in the nail to allow the blood to drain out, and let the rest of the blood be absorbed naturally by the body.
This is mostly related to congenital hypoxic heart disease. But the actual relationship is unclear, we only know that it is closely related. This will not change the appearance.
This situation is mostly caused by abnormal growth of the nail/toenail, which damages the tissue next to the nail/toenail and then becomes inflamed. Mild inflammation can be corrected by antibiotics (oral or topical). However, in severe cases, the root cause must be solved - the problem of abnormal growth of the nail/toenail. The simplest way is to change the way of cutting the nail/toenail. If it fails, surgery must be used to remove the abnormal growth.
Most of the above situations are because the body is uncomfortable when the nail grows in that area, so the nail growth slows down at that moment, and then forms a concave. When the physical condition improves, the nails that grow later will also become flat. Therefore, when you see horizontal grooves, it actually means that it is a thing of the past, so don't worry.
Although it is rare in Chinese society, these black spots can also be melanoma. Therefore, any persistent black (not the entire black pigment) should be further tested by a doctor. As for the pigment that has been there since childhood, you may relax a little, or ask the doctor to confirm it again.
Choose a special baby electric nail clipper and avoid using adult nail clippers to avoid cutting the baby's fingertips.

It is safest to cut nails when the baby is asleep. At this time, the baby's sensitivity to external stimuli is reduced and it is easy to cooperate.
It is also a good time to cut nails when the baby is drinking milk or playing quiet games.
When cutting nails, try to avoid the baby's bad mood or resistance.
Let the baby lie flat on the bed, the mother leans on the edge of the bed, and holds the baby's hand close to you. It is best to be in the same direction and angle.
Cut the middle first and then trim the two ends to avoid cutting the corners too deep.
After trimming twice, be sure to trim these sharp corners to make them smooth again to prevent them from becoming "weapons" that scratch the baby.
Check the edge of the nails and remove the sharp corners in time.
