Half Moon
Why do humans have little half-moon shapes at the base of their fingernails?
What does it mean, if anything, when the little half-moons disappear?
The lunula is the crescent shaped whitish area of the nail bed of a fingernail or toenail.
To be specific it is located at the end of the nail that is closest to the skin of the finger but still lies under the nail. It is not actually white but only appears so when seen through the nail.
It is white, half-moon-shaped, appears by week 14 of gestation, has unique histologic features. The lunula has a primary structural role in defining the free edge of the distal nail plate (the part of the nail that actually grows outward). Lunular anomalies include changes in form and structure and in color. Lunular dysmorphologic features can be characterized by macrolunula, microlunula or anolunula, and nonconvex lunula. Lunular dyschromias can be confluent or spotted or can be characterized by longitudinal colored bands that traverse the lunula. Alterations in the morphologic features or color (or both) of the lunula can be an indication of either a cutaneous or a systemic disorder.
