Should I be worried re: my teens clubbing of her toenails? She's 15. Fingernails are ok. Bad Headaches too.

Yes clubbing of the toenails is also a sign. I am a nursing student and that is one of the signs we recently had to watch for. Generally it results from a heart condition or circulatory issue. The extremities usually show the first signs of circulation issues. I would get her checked ASAP especially since she is having neck pain. The neck, back and arms are location of referred pain and can indicate something else is going on.

I used to bite my nails when I was little. \nIt's something I slowly grew out of in a strange way. \nMy parents used to put this nail polish on my nails which made them taste horrible everytime I put my fingers in my mouth. This worked to a certain extent because it really did taste nasty.... but I used to wash it off my hands everytime I could (usually at school!) . \nMy parents also put up signs all around the house to remind me not to bite them. This helped but didn't stop it. \nAfter a while I started to like using nail varnish and started plastering the stuff all over my nails and peeling it off which stopped me from biting them. Although, this wasn't very good for me, but seeing my nails long made me want to keep them like that so I started growing my nails. \nOnly problem now though, is that I occasionally like to bite my cuticle instead!! \nIn general I think it's something she'll have to want to do herself. You can help her but never force it! People normally bite their nails when they are worried or scared. It's a sign of insecurity.\nThen again that's not always the case, so she may have her own reasons for it:\nIf you were not cutting her nails for her she probably turned to biting her nails as a way to keep them short. Nails break easily. Especially as a young active child you're more prone to breaking them! So if you start cutting them for her maybe she will stop biting them???

If you seriously think this might happen - you need to contact the local authorities.  They won't take this situation lightly.\n\nIf she's possibly going to harm herself or others, they will investigate.\n\nWhere's her family - you should also contact them but don't wait for them to call the police.\n\nYOU need to do this NOW.

Most often that is caused by vitamin deficiency and/or a fungal infection of the nail. I suggest you see your physician. It's a good idea for everyone to take a vitamin daily.

go to your doctor? it doesnt matter really they will cover just about anything your doctor perscribes for medical conditions, infected toenails fall in there, you may not get lamisil , maybe a generic version or a different product for the same thing

Maybe having gel or acrylic nails put on isn't the best idea. What about taking her to a nail salon and having them painted or having a french manicure done on her natural nails? Maybe the thought of having a pretty, professional nail-painting job done will deter her from wanting to bite them. \n\nOr, if she does have fake nails put on, maybe having them done really short.. like a sporty style, wouldn't be a bad idea. Keep in mind that it's an expensive habit to keep up with. Having acrylic nails put on can cost up to $30 or $40 and it ruins the natural nails, makes them a yellowish color and very thin and easy to break.

She's having a hard time accepting that her daughter is growing up. Obviously if you will be at a public restaurant, it's not like all of you guys are going to throw her on top of a table, strip her clothes off and pull a chain on her. Her mom is just trippin. At 14, me and my friends hung out at the roller rink together without adult supper vision, but, duh, the people who WORK there were adults. And I was ALWAYS the only girl hangin out with all of the guys. I just got along better with guys than girls at that age. She's making more out of it than is really there. Funny thing is, I grew up to like women. So, for all she knows, her daughter might be gay when she grows up! Boys think about sex a lot, but it's not ALL they think about. She needs to realize this and get a grip. Good luck.

I seriously doubt that is any type of problem until you are 16, but going to the doctor wont hurt anyway, just be thankful you get to remain as you are for the time being. Seriously, I suck *** being an adult.

take her to a doctor. It could be an issue that requires medical attention. However, having said this, it is also possible that she's extremely delicate and prone to bruising. Nonetheless, take her to a doctor- I had a friend whose kid bruised badly recently and he was diagnosed with leukemia- dont worry! it's probably not that bad but better safe than sorry

its normal, that means theres a fungal infedction but its very minor and very common, its underneath the nail so it cant spread, and if you really dont like it there are precription pills to take which will clear up nails in about 3 to 6 months, but they're purely cosmetic because the fungal infection does no harm whatsoever.

I go fishing frequently and ticks can occasionally be an issue. It's probably going to be OK. If she was a little older you could use a tiny pair of pointy tweezers to remove the head, but at her age I suppose she wouldn't like that too much. The head is very small (think grain of sand or smaller) and should either work itself out through natural sloughing off of skin cells over time, or more likely will be dissolved by antibodies. Inspect the site periodically for redness/tenderness, signs of an infection, but I doubt you'll have a problem. If there have been cases of Lyme disease in your area, take her in just to be safe. Hope this helped.

My mother and my sisters have all had the procedure done.Their toenails look "normal" and haven't have any problems since.I just recently had my daughters done and the doctor said she will look normal as well.Just make sure you cut the toenails straight across and keep them a bit long (not past the actual toe) so it won't want to go inward in the corners again.

Being a minor doesn't she have to have a parents permission to do something like that. If not it should be that way. I have never had to deal with a situation like this, but I would not do it myself because of the pain it would cause first of all. Then there are all of the what ifs. If it got pulled out by someone? If it got infected? If it caused damage to the sensations felt by that part of your body? There are a lot of things your friend needs to think about before going through with this. It may seem like a cool thing to at the moment, but how is she going to feel about it if problems arise from it or in the future?
