Hi all, have any of you had problems with fingernails?.I have had white colour creeping up my nails feom the fingertips. Ive been to the nurse, who has taken bloods, to check if any deficiencies, also nail clippings to see if any fungal infection. Im waiting for the results, and wondered if anyone else has had problems?
