Common nail disorders include brittle nails, ingrown nails, nail psoriasis, and onycholysis. These conditions can lead to nail weakness, pain, discoloration, and separation from the nail bed.
Brittle nails can result from vitamin deficiencies, dehydration, frequent exposure to harsh chemicals, and other environmental factors. They may break, split, or peel easily.
Ingrown nails are typically treated by correcting the nail growth. Dr. Karhade may use minimally invasive procedures to alleviate pain and prevent recurrence, alongside recommending proper nail care practices.
Nail psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that can affect nail health, leading to pitting and discoloration. Treatment options may include topical or oral medications to manage symptoms and improve nail appearance.
Diagnosis involves a thorough examination of the nails and may include taking a nail clipping for laboratory testing to confirm the presence of a fungal infection.
