What Causes Nail Disorders?
Nail disorders are commonly brought on by a fungal or bacterial infection, as well as viruses. Some of the infections that affect the nails are paronychia, ringworm, anemia, eczema, psoriasis, and athlete’s foot. Nail disorders may also be brought on by an underlying condition like diabetes, lung cancer, heart disease, thyroid issues, or liver disorders. During your consultation, our team will examine your nails and may take a sample of your nail or cuticle to help determine the diagnosis and best treatment plan.
Treatments for Nail Disorders
At your appointment, our team will perform a comprehensive examination to identify your nail disorder and whether there are any underlying health issues that need to be addressed. Then, we’ll go over all of the treatment options for your diagnosis. Our team may prescribe an antibiotic for a bacterial infection or an antifungal medication for a fungal infection. Anti-inflammatory creams are also effective treatments for nail disorders.
