Nail problems

Nail problems are not usually caused by anything serious. Common nail problems include brittle, loose nails that may change colour or shape.

It’s normal for nails to:

become thicker or break more easily (brittle) as you get older
become harder, softer or more brittle during pregnancy (they should be healthier within 6 months of having a baby)
change colour, become loose and eventually fall off after an injury

However, Small dents or pits in your nails can be a sign of nail psoriasis, eczema or alopecia. Fingernails curving over rounded fingertips can be a sign of many serious, long-term conditions.

What causes nail problems?

Most nail problems are caused by:

injuries or biting your nails
staining your nails, for example, by smoking or applying a lot of nail varnish
not regularly trimming your nails, or cutting them at an angle
your hands often being in water or cleaning products
a fungal nail infection

Nail problems can sometimes be a symptom of a more serious or long-term condition, such as:

psoriasis
iron deficiency anaemia
an underactive thyroid or overactive thyroid
diabetes
heart, lung or liver disease

How are nail problems treated?

Its important to consult with our Specialist Dermatologist to determine the right diagnosis and best course of treatment for specific nail problems. We can provide guidance on weather treatment is necessary and what options are most suitable.

Tips from our Dermatologist

Wear rubber gloves if your hands are often in water or you regularly use cleaning products.
Clean your nails with a soft nailbrush.
Apply hand cream to your nails and fingertips regularly.
Trim your nails regularly (it may help to cut them after a shower or bath).
Cut injured, loose nails back to where they are still attached, so they do not bend or catch on objects.
Do not cut your nails down the edges, and only trim straight across the top to help avoid an ingrown toenails.
Do not bite or pick your nails or the skin around them.
Do not ignore fungal infections on your skin, such as athlete's foot.
