Question
My son is 12 years old and his fingernails have appeared indentations. I don’t know what the cause might be?
Answer
Fingernail indentations in children may be due to insufficient nutrient intake, particularly a lack of protein, calcium, and zinc. It is recommended to adjust the diet to increase the intake of foods rich in these nutrients, and also consider appropriate nutritional supplements. Additionally, appropriate topical treatments can also help improve the condition of the nails.
