Nail Disorders

Fungal infections of the nails, known as onychomycosis, are one of the most prevalent concerns. These infections cause the nails to become thick, discolored, brittle, and sometimes painful. Dr. Kalkambe A Sangma uses a combination of oral antifungal medications, topical treatments, and in some cases, nail debridement, to effectively treat the infection and restore healthy nail growth.

Ingrown toenails are another common issue that can lead to pain, swelling, and infection. Whether caused by improper nail trimming, tight footwear, or repeated trauma, ingrown nails are carefully managed through minor procedures or conservative care, depending on the severity. Dr. Sangma ensures that the treatment is both effective and minimally invasive.

Patients with psoriasis may also experience nail involvement, leading to pitting, ridges, discoloration, and separation of the nail from the nail bed (onycholysis). Dr. Kalkambe A Sangma offers targeted treatment strategies to control inflammation and improve nail appearance over time.

Nail trauma and habit-tic deformities, often seen in individuals who bite their nails or expose them to repetitive mechanical stress, are evaluated thoroughly. Management includes behavioral counseling, protective measures, and sometimes medical interventions to promote healthy regrowth.

Additionally, nails can reflect systemic health conditions such as anemia, thyroid disorders, or autoimmune diseases. In such cases, Dr. Kalkambe A Sangma coordinates with other specialists as needed and conducts appropriate investigations to address the root cause.
