Nail problems often begin subtly and worsen over time. Common symptoms include:

Key Points:

• Thick, brittle, discolored or crumbling nails

• Pain, swelling, or redness around the nail fold

• Ingrown toenails causing discomfort while walking

• Slow-growing or distorted nails

• Pus discharge in infected nails (Paronychia)

• White or yellow patches indicating fungal involvement

Accurate diagnosis is essential to determine whether the issue is fungal, bacterial, inflammatory, or due to trauma.

Key Points:

• Detailed nail and skin examination

• Dermatoscopy to assess nail plate and surrounding skin

• Nail scrapings or clippings for fungal culture

• Blood tests if systemic causes like psoriasis are suspected

• Review of medical history, footwear habits, and hygiene practices

Each nail condition requires a tailored approach to ensure healthy regrowth and complete relief.

Key Points:

• Fungal Nail Treatment: Antifungal medications (topical/oral), nail debridement, hygiene plan

• Ingrown Nail Treatment: Partial nail avulsion, infection control, corrective dressing

• Nail Psoriasis Management: Targeted topical therapy, systemic support if needed

• Nail Dystrophy Repair: Hydration therapy, protective regimens, nutritional guidance

• Paronychia Care: Pus drainage (if needed), antibiotics, anti-inflammatory care

• Strength & Growth Plans: Treatment for brittle, cracked, or weak nails
