NAIL DISORDERS

There are many nail disorders but the one most commonly afflicting our people is Onychomycosis or fungal infection of nails. It starts in 1-2 nails and gradually involves all the nails even the toenails. Treatment for 4-6 months will get rid of the infection and requires taking some oral and applications.

Another common problem is the ingrowing toe nail which causes a lot of pain and swelling and secondary bacterial infection at the site where nail and skin meet. This condition requires a minor nail surgery in many cases and also use of broad footwear.
