Nail Problems
Understand The Problem
Numerous painful nail illnesses can be caused by a lack of calcium, iron, and vitamins, as well as from poor cleanliness, improper nail care, and inappropriate footwear. These illnesses include:
Onychocryptosis: One typical nail pathology is onychocryptosis. It is inherited and brought on by the nail's increasing convexity or an imbalance between the breadth of the nail and its bed. Other contributing factors include the long-term use of tight shoes and a variety of big toe disorders and abnormalities. Practically speaking, each of these causes results in the nail penetrating the skin. Redness, swelling, and inflammation of the area are the symptoms, and there is frequently excruciating pain.
Paronychia: Inflammation in the nail's skin fold is a sign of a skin problem. It is brought on by inappropriate nail cutting (deep cuts especially on the side margins of the nails). Paronychia frequently progresses to paronychia abscess, or pus that gathers at the tip of the nail beneath the skin, causing excruciating agony and making the region a dangerous source of infection.
Onychomycosis: Infection of the nails with locally adapted microbes. Onychomycosis typically affects people who frequently go to places like gyms, swimming pools, and public spaces because the fungus prefers warm and moist environment. Athletes, the elderly, diabetics, and people with circulatory issues are particularly at risk. Visit your doctor when then nail turns white, spots appear on its surface and becomes thicker.
Discoloration: There are various nail discolorations, depending on the cause. Thus, onychomycosis, chondronychia, or hyperkeratosis are the causes of the yellow tint. Purple, black, and red nails are the result of serious fungal wounds and other diseases. However, discoloration can also occur as spots on the surface of the nails in addition to a change in hue.
Brittle Nails: They result from an improper diet, using cheap varnish and bleach, using detergents frequently, and other things that weaken and wear down the nails. These nails peel and break easily and are dull, sensitive, and dehydrated.
Stiff and Hard Nails: They typically affect older persons and are lengthy and twisted. They make it difficult to walk and hurt the skin of the feet.
Onychoptosis: Nail separation from the skin. A severe injury or an advanced fungus infection may be to blame.
