The importance of skin care cannot be understated—without it, you may not achieve the results you desire.
Nail conditions can affect the appearance, growth, and pain sensations in the nails of your fingers and toes. Living with nail conditions can be challenging, and only a few can be treated at home.
Nail conditions can make it difficult to use your hands or walk comfortably and may influence your confidence in allowing others to see your hands or feet. But you shouldn't have to live with this invasive and everyday problem.
The good news is that treatments are available for many existing nail conditions. The expert dermatology specialists of Radiant Dermatology & Aesthetics can help you diagnose your nails and build a treatment plan to manage or solve your condition for healthier, more beautiful nails.
Nail conditions can be the result of several different factors. The appearance of your nail can help determine what the cause might be. Factors that might be contributing to or the source of your nail condition include:
Onycholysis occurs when the nail separates from the nail bed over time. The condition may be a reaction to chemicals, water, psoriasis, or allergies, among other possible causes. Treatments include antifungals, psoriasis treatment, or cause-specific remedies.
Onychomycosis is a type of fungal infection that is more likely to be found in toenails than fingernails. Treatments include antifungal medication and special nail care to stop the infection and prevent it from recurring.
Paronychia is an infection of the nail bed. It occurs when a damaged nail bed allows bacteria to enter. The result is redness, painful swelling, and sometimes yellow puss at the site of infection. Treatment includes antibiotics, warm compresses, corticosteroids, and surgical incisions if necessary.
Nail psoriasis is an autoimmune reaction that causes nails to crumble or dent. It weakens the nail so it can become brittle and fragile. Treatment includes treatment of systemic psoriasis along with corticosteroids and laser treatment.
Onychogryphosis is a thick overgrowth of the nail that becomes thick and overlarge. It is most likely to occur on the big toe. Treatment includes special cutting or filing to bring the nail back down to a regular size and safely maintain it if the condition continues.
Nail fungal infections can be common, especially for toenails. They cause nails to become thick, discolored, and/or breakable. Treatment includes long-term antifungal medication and can take time to cure the infection fully.
An ingrown nail occurs when the nail itself grows into the nailbed. Causes include shoes and socks, but they can also be genetic. Ingrown nails are surgically repaired, and they can then be prevented or managed with foot soaks and careful shoe and socks choice.
A pincer nail is when the nail grows unevenly and damages the nail bed. It can be treated similarly to an ingrown nail focusing on the uneven side.
