Nail Clubbing: Its symptoms, causes, and treatment

 

Nail clubbing happens when your nails appear wider, spongelike or swollen, like an upside-down spoon. Clubbed nails are frequently a sign of a medical illness that requires treatment, such as lung cancer.

Symptoms of Nail Clubbing

If you have nail clubbing, your nails may:

  • Feel soft and sponge-like.
  • Feel warm to the touch.
  • Form a rounded, bulging shape, giving the appearance of an upside-down spoon.
  • Look red.
  • Widen and wrap around the sides of your fingertips.

A few of your nails or all of them can be affected by nail clubbing.  Often, it begins in your thumb and at your forefinger before they spread to other nails.
