Nail health issues can stem from various factors, including poor circulation, hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, and environmental stressors. These problems can result in brittle, discolored, or weak nails, affecting not only your appearance but also your confidence.
At Grosse Pointe Dermatology, we recognize the importance of strong, healthy nails and offer a range of specialized treatments designed to address these underlying causes. Our goal is to restore your nails to their natural strength and beauty, helping you feel more confident and comfortable in your everyday life.
There are non fungal causes of nail dystrophy.
A thorough evaluation of the overall health and examination will determine the condition of the nails to determine the appropriate treatments for you.
Causes Leading to Nail Fungus
Nail fungus, or onychomycosis, can be a stubborn issue, but understanding its causes can help you prevent and treat it effectively. At Grosse Pointe Dermatology, we offer solutions to tackle the common risk factors:
01
Moist Environments:
Frequent exposure to damp areas like public showers, gyms, and pools can make your nails more vulnerable to fungal infections.
02
Injury to the Nail:
Minor injuries to the nail or surrounding skin can create entry points for fungi, increasing the risk of infection.
03
Weakened Immune System:
Conditions that impair your immune system, such as diabetes, can elevate your risk of developing nail fungus.
04
Tight Footwear:
Wearing tight or non-breathable shoes traps moisture, creating an ideal environment for fungal growth.
By addressing these factors, you can better protect your nails from fungus. If you notice signs of infection, our expert team is here to help restore your nail health with targeted treatments.
