Nail Conditions Treatment in Hyderabad

Are you concerned about changes in your fingernails or toenails, such as discoloration, thickening, brittleness, or pain? Your nails can reflect your overall health and are susceptible to various conditions, including infections, inflammatory diseases, and nutritional deficiencies. Nail problems can be persistent and sometimes indicate an underlying issue. At Dr. Nishita’s Clinic in Hyderabad, we provide expert diagnosis and effective treatments for a wide range of nail conditions, helping restore the health and appearance of your nails.

Understanding Nail Conditions

The nail unit (including the nail plate, nail bed, matrix, and surrounding skin) can be affected by numerous factors:

Fungal (onychomycosis) and bacterial (paronychia) infections are common.

Conditions like psoriasis and lichen planus often manifest in the nails.

Injury can lead to bruising (subungual hematoma), lifting (onycholysis), or deformities.

Nail changes can sometimes be linked to thyroid problems, anaemia, heart or lung conditions.

Lack of certain vitamins and minerals can impact nail health.

Though less common, growths can occur in the nail unit.

Common Nail Problems We Address

Yellowish/brownish discoloration, thickening, crumbling, debris under the nail. More common in toenails.

Nail edge grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, redness, and swelling.

Dry, fragile nails that easily break or split.

Pitting, oil spots, discoloration, thickening, and separation from the nail bed.

Inflammation/infection of the skin fold around the nail, causing redness, swelling, and pus.

White spots, yellowing, darkening – various causes need diagnosis.

Bruising under the nail, lifting, or loss of the nail.

Thinning, ridging, splitting, and potential nail loss.
