COMMON NAIL CONDITIONS - WHAT ARE YOUR NAILS TRYING TO TELL YOU?
Have you noticed changes in the colour, shape or texture of your nails?
Your nails can reveal more than you might think! Changes in their appearance aren't always caused by fungal infections or poor nail care. Sometimes, they may indicate an underlying condition that needs attention.
🔎 4 NAIL CONDITIONS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT:
• ONYCHOLYSIS – Separation of the nail plate from the nail bed, often causing white or yellowish discolouration.
• ONYCHOMADESIS – Shedding of the nail beginning at its base, caused by a temporary interruption in nail growth.
• ONYCHORRHEXIS – Brittle nails with vertical ridges or splits, making them more prone to breaking.
• NAIL PTERYGIUM – A condition where skin abnormally adheres to or grows over the nail plate, sometimes associated with inflammation or scarring.
💡 WHAT CAN CAUSE THESE CHANGES?
• Repeated trauma or pressure from footwear
• Aggressive nail treatments
• Fungal or bacterial infections
• Skin conditions such as psoriasis or eczema
• Certain medical conditions or nutritional deficiencies
CAN THESE CONDITIONS BE TREATED?
Many nail conditions can be managed or improved with appropriate care. However, identifying the underlying cause is essential for choosing the right approach.
⚠️ DON'T IGNORE CHANGES IN YOUR NAILS!
If you notice persistent discolouration, splitting, lifting or unusual nail growth, a professional assessment can help identify the problem and determine the next steps.
Healthy nails start with the right care!
