Achieve healthier nails
The nail is simply part of the skin tissue and dermatologists are experts in nail disease and nail surgery.
Nail disorders, infections or trauma can be disfiguring and painful and can even affect your self-confidence.
Healthy looking nails can be achieved with proper therapy and accurate diagnosis.
Nail infection treatment
Fungal infections are the most common nail disorders and results in thickened, yellow crusty nails.
Nail fungus treatment often involves oral and topical therapy. But it is most important to properly diagnose the cause of nail thickening.
Not all thick and yellow nails are fungus infections.
Trauma or damage to the nail bed can lead to disfigured nail and can cause thickened keratin or nail debris.
Our dermatologists can accurately diagnose and treat your fungal infections and help you achieve healthy-looking nails.
Nail disorders
Nail disorders can be genetic or caused by internal disease. The nail anatomy is a complicated structure that is affected by our genetic profile and also our internal physiology.
Renal failure (kidney failure) for example is a cause of distinct nail changes as is cardiac disease.
In addition, certain genetic disorders like Darier’s disease or Ectodermal dysplasias.
These are rare conditions but they are within the scope of dermatology and nail pathology.
Psoriasis is a common skin condition that is partly genetic and environmental and it affects nails in several ways. We treat psoriasis completely…scalp, skin, and nails.
