Nail Abnormalities/Problems

Nail abnormalities can be caused by a number of factors. The most common causes include fungal infections, trauma, or ingrown nails. Other nail issues we encounter are pigmented bands appearing on nails causing patients to worry about underlying cancer. It is important to seek treatment as soon as possible to prevent further complications.

Symptoms can include discoloration, thickening, brittleness, or even separation from the nail bed. Diagnosis is usually made through visual inspection of the nails, but sometimes it may be necessary to perform a biopsy of the affected area.

Nail Abnormalities Treatment

Treatment depends on the cause of your symptoms. If you have a fungal infection, antifungal medication will be used to treat it. If it is bacterial then antibiotics will be prescribed. Surgery or laser ablation may be used for pincer or ingrown nails.
