Nail Problems
Nail Disorders
​Nail disorders can be a reflection of overall health, and sometimes changes in your nails might be an early sign of an underlying medical condition. While some issues are purely cosmetic or related to injury, others might point to more serious health problems, such as infections, autoimmune diseases, or systemic conditions like heart or lung disease.
Nail Fungus
​Nail fungus, also known as onychomycosis, is a fungal infection that affects the nails, causing them to change color, thicken, and potentially become brittle or crumble. It's most common in the toenails, but fingernails can also be affected. The condition is typically caused by a fungal organism that thrives in warm, moist environments.
Nail Pigmentation
​
A Nail pigmentation refers to any discoloration or change in the color of the nails. While nails are typically a pale pinkish color due to the blood flow beneath them, various factors—ranging from harmless cosmetic changes to signs of serious health conditions—can alter their appearance. Nail pigmentation can be subtle or more noticeable and may involve a change in hue, spots, or streaks.
