Looking for advice from a nail specialist doctor?

Nails can be involved in many skin diseases such as psoriasis, lichen planus or eczema and can be a reflection of internal health. Fungal nail infections are also common and can be treated appropriately by using correct antifungal treatments.

COMMON NAIL ABNORMALITIES

  • Brittleness: increases with age and can be associated with iron deficiency in some people.
  • Roughness: common and usually of little significance.
  • Pits: classical feature of psoriasis, but also found in eczema and in alopecia areata.
  • Onycholysis (fungal nail infection)
  • Lifting of the nail from the underlying nail bed, which can be found in psoriasis, fungal infections, overactive thyroid, lesions under the nail, associated with some medications, and sometimes without cause.
  • Discolouration: white marks are common and normal, generally white nails can be found in liver disease, pale nails in anaemia, yellow nails in fungal infections, green-blue ones in pseudomonas infection, black-brown with bruising, moles or melanoma.

These are just some of the abnormalities that can be found in nails, and some of the associated causes. Other abnormalities include ridging, washboard nails, thickening, scarring and loss of nails, all with a variety of causes.

TREATING NAIL DISEASES

Nail diseases can be treated in different ways, depending on the cause of the disease. This may be with antibiotics or antifungal agents, therapy aimed at treating eczema or psoriasis, surgery or with lasers. 

A nail specialist doctor will assess your condition and the most appropriate treatment option will be discussed with you.
