GlossaryNail Disorders (nail issues)

conditions affecting nail appearance, texture, or health

Nail disorders, also known as nail conditions or nail diseases, encompass a variety of issues that affect the appearance, texture, and overall health of the fingernails and toenails. These can include fungal infections, psoriasis, onycholysis (separation of the nail from the nail bed), and ingrown nails, among others. Proper diagnosis and treatment often require a healthcare professional, as these conditions can sometimes indicate underlying systemic health problems.
