My son's nails are peeling
by christophersmommy901, Aug 17, 2008 05:57PM
Hi
My son is turning 2 in two weeks. The other day I noticed that it looked like he was going to lose the nail on two of his fingers - although the nails were not black. They were white but looked jagged. I didn't recall an injury but fingered at his age it happened when i wasn't looking. Two days later I noticed that several of his other fingers now had similar issues. When one of the nails peeled up - there was a perfect new nail underneath. Last night I looked at the big toe on each of his feet and the same thing is occuring.
He hasn't been sick recently - although he had coxackie around July 8th. There doesn't look to be any type of visible infection but it has me freaked out.
Anything to be concerned with?
