Nail Disorders
Healthy nails are smooth and uniform in colour. Changes in the appearance of your nails can signal various underlying health conditions or infections. Common nail disorders include:
- Nail infections: Fungal infections (yellowing, thickening), bacterial infections (pain, redness, pus), and viral infections (warts around the nails).
- Nail Thickening: Can be caused by fungal infections, psoriasis, or other conditions.
- Nail Discoloration: Yellow, white, or brown spots or streaks may indicate a fungal infection, injury, or systemic issues.
- Brittle Nails: Nails become weak and prone to breakage due to dryness, aging, or medical conditions.
- Ingrown Toenails: A painful condition where the nail grows into the skin.
- Nail Trauma: Injuries can cause nail discoloration, splitting, or complete nail loss.
