THE HUMAN NAIL - Ailments and Diseases - E-book - ePub

Dystrophic NailsThese are fingernails or toenails which are deformed, thickened, or discolored.  There are many reasons for nail dystrophy, ranging from toenail fungus (onychomycosis) to skin conditions (psoriasis). Some common problems of nail dystrophy include: Fingernails which are cracked, split, flaky, peeling, crumbly, and shed Nails that are misshapen or curved in an unusual way  Nails that are thicker than usual or that are yellow, white, or brown Nails that are painful when encountering other objects Nails that are pulling away from or coming off your skin Self-consciousness about nails leads to withdrawal from public and social situations. Nail dystrophy is an unattractive and profoundly concerning issue.
 It can be challenging to manage, but one of the best ways is to use early intervention.  The earlier you deal with nail dystrophy, the better the outcome for any affected nails as they re-grow and recover. Learn more about HUMAN NAILs, symptoms, causes, and treatment within the pages of this book.
