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: -Koilonychia is when your nails have an indented shape, like a spoon. Often, spoon nails are a sign of iron deficiency. You’re also more likely to have spoon nails if you have an autoimmune disease, such as lupus, or poor blood flow to your hands or feet.
Detailed explanation-3: -Koilonychia is an abnormal shape of the fingernail. The nail has raised ridges and is thin and curved inward. This disorder is associated with iron deficiency anemia.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
