Bumps, ridges, peeling, and pits are clues to the body's overall health and could even be an early warning sign for underlying issues. But rest easy—not all nail problems should have you running to the doctor. Here are 7 common nail problems and what you should do about them. Though much less common, several potential underlying conditions can cause nails to split more easily. Nails are typically short, with up to 50% of the nail bed exposed. The free edge may be even or ragged. Surface change may include splitting of the nail into layers

Given that topical prescription remedies take at least one year of daily use to work in only two thirds of mild to moderate cases, it is difficult to recommend an off-label natural remedy treatment,” says Dr. Markowitz. Onycholysis - the distal and/or lateral separation of the nail plate from the nail bed. Psoriatic onycholysis can be considered the reference point for other forms of onycholysis and is typically distal (ie affecting the free margin of the nail), with variable lateral involvement. Isolated islands of onycholysis present as ‘oil spots’ or ‘salmon patches’ in the nail bed. All the other common causes of onycholysis are associated with diminished adherence of the nail plate to the nail bed as a primary (idiopathic) or secondary event: the latter include trauma, fungal infection, eczema, and drug reactions Patients with potentially destructive lichen planusof the nails should be referred urgentlyto dermatology, as early intervention may prevent long-term nail damageSometimes but not always. There is a nail condition seen with iron deficiency called koilonychia, or spoon-shaped nails [ source ]. This effect can also occur with other medical conditions, so it's worth letting your doctor have a look if you notice this nail change. If you’re eligible for oral drugs, however, you may want to take a multi-pronged approach: “I prefer to do orals and topicals if patients really want a chance at a cure, since it is so difficult to treat nail fungus,” says Dr. Campbell. Pyogenic granuloma- a red papule or nodule that bleeds very easily. Needs to be differentiated from malignancy

Squamous cell carcinoma - a nodule, ulcer, or occasionally a verrucous-like mass. Can cause partial or complete nail destruction However, all these methods do require a bit of patience. A strengthening product, on the other hand, can make a huge difference to the appearance of your nails in weeks. What do nail strengtheners do? Other causes of longitudinal melanonychia includebenign melanocytic naevi, trauma, pregnancy, Addison's disease, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, a number of medications, and HIV positive patients in untreated cases as well as in those receiving zidovudine For example, psoriasis can damage a person’s nail bed. Taking medication to control psoriasis can help prevent damage to the nails.

An anecdotal clinical observation is that traumatic causes of subungual bleeding are associated with a proximal white transverse band in many instances. This is more common for trauma to digits of the hand than the foot While not technically a fingernail issue, hangnails are annoying and painful, to say the least. These small pieces of skin gather around your cuticles, and when they rip or tear, they can sometimes lead to painful swelling and infection. Ripping off gel nails or getting acrylics without a break in between appointments will also weaken them. Always get them removed professionally, or give them the proper DIY removal treatment at home.

Longitudinal melanonychia is a term used to describe a hyperpigmented band that runslongitudinally from the proximal nail fold to the free end of the nail plate. The first diagnosis to consider is melanoma, although there are several benign causes. Most commonly affects the big toenails, and is seen mainly in very active individuals, those with poor footwear, and in the elderly Findings include pits, distal and lateral onycholysis, 'oil-drops', subungual hyperkeratosis, an uneven nail surface, paronychia, transverse midline depressions in the thumbnails, and occasionally splinter haemorrhagesUsually caused by ill-fitting footwear but it can occur in patients with psoriasis, SLE, Kawasaki disease, cancer, end-stage renal disease, and some genetic syndromes (eg paronychia congenita) Just like with our skin and hair, nails can become brittle and dry when we don’t drink enough water, so make sure to get your two litres a day. Describes nails where there is a proximal white zone and distal (20–60%) brownish sharp demarcation Once and a while, a nail slowly rises up, becomes white, and starts coming off. This is called onycholysis—a separation of the nail from the nail bed. It can be a little scary, but it usually happens slowly, often resulting from trauma to the nail. Some conditions like fungal infections or psoriasis can affect the skin under the nail, causing it to lift away. Medications and chemical exposures (those nail cosmetics!) can also be a cause. And certain health conditions, such as gastrointestinal disease or hyperthyroidism, have been associated with onycholysis [ source ]. One common medication in the “azole” family used to treat toenail fungus is Jublia (efinaconazole). Other medications often prescribed include the active ingredient terbinafine, which is usually prescribed as oral or topical Lamisil.

Pseudomonal nail infection - it is important to try and correct any underlying nail pathology. Treatments reported as helping include vinegar, 1% hydrogen peroxide cream, gentamicin drops, ciprofloxacin drops Zinc undecylenate and undecylenic acid are both FDA-approved ingredients to treat toenail fungus. Also, if you seek help from a dermatologist, they will likely prescribe medications in the “azole” family. “The compound interferes with the synthesis of the fungal cell membrane,” Dr. Lipner says, which essentially kills the fungus. In more severe cases, there can be paronychia,loss of the cuticle, and/or hypertrophy of the lunulae

According to a study in the Journal of Indian Dermatology, nail psoriasis affects 10–78% of people with the condition. Psoriasis may weaken nails and make them more prone to splitting. Follow the directions but remove any films and take your time laying them on the surface of your nail. Formulated as a topical nail product, Kerasal Nighttime Fungal Nail Renewal Patches have a penetrating formula that helps improve the appearance of nails that are damaged by nail fungus. If you already have ridges, massage a dab of vitamin E oil into your nails twice a day to help make them appear less prominent, or grab a buffing board next time you're at the pharmacy and buff them away. 5 .
