Healthy nails are not just about beauty—they are also an important indicator of your overall health. At our clinic, we understand that nail problems can be more than just cosmetic concerns. They can be distressing and sometimes painful experiences that need professional attention. Dr. Dipali Malvankar offers specialized care for a wide range of nail disorders, ensuring that each patient receives the best possible treatment tailored to their specific needs.
Common Nail Problems We Treat
Nail problems can vary widely from one person to another. They include, but are not limited to, fungal infections, nail psoriasis, ingrown toenails, and nail trauma. Here are some of the conditions we frequently address:
Fungal Infections: These are caused by fungi that affect the nail, leading to discoloration, thickening, and sometimes pain. Fungal infections are stubborn and require targeted treatments.
Ingrown Toenails: This painful condition occurs when the nail grows into the toe skin. It can lead to infection and severe discomfort.
Nail Psoriasis: This can cause abnormal nail growth and discoloration. Nails may become loose or separate from the nail bed.
Brittle Nails: Often splitting or breaking, brittle nails can be a sign of nutritional deficiencies or external damage.
Our Treatment Approach
At Dr. Malvankar’s clinic, we begin with a comprehensive assessment to diagnose the specific type of nail problem. Our treatment approach is multi-faceted, involving:
Topical Treatments: These may include antifungal creams or moisturizing ointments to address external symptoms.
Oral Medications: For more severe cases, especially fungal infections, oral medications may be necessary to treat the problem from the inside out.
Oral Medications: For more severe cases, especially fungal infections, oral medications may be necessary to treat the problem from the inside out.
Advanced Therapies: For conditions like severe psoriasis or recurrent ingrown toenails, we might recommend laser therapy or minor surgical procedures to provide long-term relief.
