Nail Problems Treatment: Restore Healthy, Strong Nails

Struggling with brittle, discolored, or painful nails? Nail problems can be symptoms of infection, injury, or underlying systemic conditions. At Dr. Kumar Skin & Laser Clinic, Jamshedpur, we offer specialized Nail Problems Treatment to accurately diagnose the root cause—whether it’s fungal, traumatic, or inflammatory—and provide targeted solutions for long-term nail health and cosmetic restoration.

Common Nail Conditions We Treat

We treat a range of nail issues that affect both appearance and health:

  • Fungal Nail Infections: Thick, yellow, brittle nails—usually on toes
  • Ingrown Toenails: Nails growing into the skin causing pain or infection
  • Nail Psoriasis: Pitting, discoloration, or detachment linked to skin psoriasis
  • Nail Trauma: Bruised or detached nails due to injury or nail-biting
  • Paronychia: Red, swollen skin around nails caused by bacteria or fungus
  • Discoloration: White, black, or green nails from chemicals or infections

Causes & Risk Factors

Nail problems can stem from various sources. Common triggers include:

  • Fungal or bacterial infections
  • Improper nail trimming or biting
  • Tight shoes or frequent trauma
  • Psoriasis, eczema, or other skin conditions
  • Excess water or chemical exposure
  • Health conditions like diabetes or thyroid issues

Addressing the root cause is key to lasting recovery.

 
 

Diagnosis & Assessment

We begin with a thorough evaluation to identify the underlying issue:

  • Clinical examination of nails and surrounding skin
  • KOH test or fungal culture to confirm infections
  • Nail biopsy for chronic or unusual cases
  • Blood tests if systemic causes are suspected

Accurate diagnosis leads to effective treatment tailored to your condition.
