What is it?

Nail disorders encompass a range of conditions affecting the nails' appearance, texture and overall health. Dermatologists specialize in diagnosing and treating these disorders, including fungal infections, ingrown nails, nail psoriasis and nail trauma. Through careful examination and sometimes diagnostic testing, our team can identify the underlying causes of nail issues and recommend effective treatments. These may include topical or oral medications, nail procedures such as removal of the affected nail or lifestyle modifications to promote nail health. Our board-certified dermatologists help patients achieve healthier and more aesthetically pleasing nails. Schedule with us today if this is something you are experiencing!
