Detailed explanation-1: -Spoon nails (koilonychia) are soft nails that look scooped out. The depression usually is large enough to hold a drop of liquid. Often, spoon nails are a sign of iron deficiency anemia or a liver condition known as hemochromatosis, in which your body absorbs too much iron from the food you eat.
Detailed explanation-2: -Spoon nails look like the center of your nail is scooped out. The nail becomes thin and the outer edges turn up. Your nail may crack, and the outer part may come out of the nail bed. Some infants are born with spoon nails, but they eventually grow out of it.
Detailed explanation-3: -The nail abnormality usually returns to normal within 4–6 months of iron repletion. If the cause of the koilonychia happens to be either idiopathic or hereditary, there is no effective treatment available.
