Common Nail Disorders: Prevention, Care, and Treatments
Nail disorders can affect the appearance, structure, and health of your nails. Common issues include:
- Ingrown Toenails: Where the nail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain and swelling.
- Fungal Nail Infections: Often characterized by discolored, thick, and brittle nails.
- Brittle Nail Syndrome: Nails that are routinely breaking or splitting.
- Psoriasis of the Nails: Results in abnormal nail growth and textural changes.
- Onycholysis: Where the nail separates from the nail bed, typically painless but prone to infection.
Understanding these conditions is the first step toward effective treatment and prevention.
