nailbeds
Under the nails
The nailbed is the layer of skin beneath the fingernail or toenail, visible through the nail plate as a pinkish surface.
Its color comes from blood vessels underneath, which is why pressing on a nail causes it to blanch temporarily.
Doctors sometimes check nailbeds for signs of circulation problems or other health conditions.
