The early manifestation of Pestle-like toenail is that the fingers or toes will develop terminal hyperplasia, even with hypertrophy.
It is mainly an arch-shaped bulge from the root to the end of the finger (toe) nail, and the skin on the back of the end of the finger (toe) nail forms a kind of base angle with the nail, and it also affects the overall shape or appearance of the hand (foot), and the symptoms are relatively prominent or obvious.
Pestle-like toenails may be caused by cyanotic congenital heart disease or respiratory diseases such as bronchiectasis or chronic lung abscess.
In addition, the possibility of tuberculosis and emphysema cannot be excluded, while digestive diseases can also be induced, mainly chronic ulcerative colitis or intestinal tuberculosis, but also including roundworm infection or colon polyp.
It is best to go to the local regular hospital to do a comprehensive examination, to clarify the cause and the development of the condition to do targeted treatment, and must avoid blindly using medication, so as not to have an impact on their own health.
