Treatment is carried out with topical medications, systemic treatments, or surgical interventions depending on the cause of the disease. The aim is to preserve nail integrity and restore a healthy appearance.<\/p>\n<p>In the treatment of fungal nail diseases, antifungal creams and oral medications provide effective results. In advanced cases, laser treatment or surgical removal of the nail plate may be preferred. The treatment period is generally long and requires regular follow-up.<\/p>\n<p>In trauma-related nail diseases, protective bandaging, local care, or reconstructive surgery is applied depending on the extent of the damage. Repair of the nail bed is important in preventing permanent deformities. In such cases, paying attention to nail hygiene accelerates healing.<\/p>\n<p>In the treatment of nail disorders related to systemic diseases such as psoriasis or lichen planus, controlling the underlying disease is essential. Immunomodulatory drugs and phototherapy methods may be used in these patients. Treatment should be planned individually and continued under the supervision of a dermatologist.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Things You Need to Know<\/td>\n<td>Information<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>What nail diseases treatment includes<\/td>\n<td>It includes the treatment of structural deformities, color changes, and infections occurring in the nail.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Which treatment methods are used<\/td>\n<td>Depending on the cause, topical medications, systemic treatments, or surgical interventions may be applied.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Approach in fungal nail diseases<\/td>\n<td>Antifungal creams, oral antifungal medications, laser treatment, or if necessary, surgical removal of the nail plate are preferred.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Treatment in trauma-related nail damage<\/td>\n<td>Protective bandaging applications, local wound care, and if necessary, surgical repair of the nail bed may be performed.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Approach in nail disorders related to systemic diseases<\/td>\n<td>In diseases such as psoriasis or lichen planus, treatment of the underlying disease is the priority; immunomodulatory drugs and phototherapy may be required.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-73652334 > .col-inner {\n  margin: 0px 0px -45px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_692285858 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n  padding-bottom: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\t<section class=\"section\" id=\"section_1255928951\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-1977048293\">\r\n\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-777283044\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\" style=\"background-color:#8a817c;\" >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row align-middle\"  id=\"row-1558384033\">\r\n\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-192010296\" class=\"col medium-5 small-12 large-5\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_224523425\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"782\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/drsevalkarasati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/bt0qauqqvf2c9eyqvf2e-e1763480905624-782x800.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"ankara dermatoloji doktoru seval karasat\u0131\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drsevalkarasati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/bt0qauqqvf2c9eyqvf2e-e1763480905624-782x800.webp 782w, https:\/\/drsevalkarasati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/bt0qauqqvf2c9eyqvf2e-e1763480905624-391x400.webp 391w, https:\/\/drsevalkarasati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/bt0qauqqvf2c9eyqvf2e-e1763480905624-768x785.webp 768w, https:\/\/drsevalkarasati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/bt0qauqqvf2c9eyqvf2e-e1763480905624.webp 882w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 782px) 100vw, 782px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_224523425 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-192010296 > .col-inner {\n  margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #col-192010296 > .col-inner {\n    margin: 0px 0px -30px 0px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-216194897\" class=\"col medium-7 small-12 large-7\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner dark\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n\t<div id=\"text-3603421474\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\r\n<div><strong>Specialist Dr. Seval Karasat\u0131<\/strong><\/div>\r\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-3603421474 {\n  font-size: 1.85rem;\n  text-align: center;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #text-3603421474 {\n    font-size: 2.5rem;\n    text-align: left;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\r\n\t<div id=\"text-2459347973\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Seval Karasat\u0131 is a dermatology (skin diseases) specialist in Ankara specializing in skin health, hair and nail diseases, aesthetic dermatology, and laser applications.

serve as &#8220;windows&#8221; reflecting the overall health status of our body. Most of the time, a disorder in the nail is thought to be just a problem related only to that area. However, a simple color or shape change in the nail can sometimes be the first sign not only of a local problem but also of a more serious underlying systemic disease, a vitamin deficiency, or an infection.<\/p>\n<p>The appearance of our nails offers valuable clues about our circulatory system, the oxygen level of our lungs, and our nutritional status. For this reason, nail examination is a critical part of dermatological evaluation and plays an important role on the path to the correct diagnosis.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1776\" src=\"https:\/\/drsevalkarasati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Tirnak-Hastaliklari-Tedavisi-Fotografi.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1625\" height=\"1084\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drsevalkarasati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Tirnak-Hastaliklari-Tedavisi-Fotografi.jpg 1625w, https:\/\/drsevalkarasati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Tirnak-Hastaliklari-Tedavisi-Fotografi-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/drsevalkarasati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Tirnak-Hastaliklari-Tedavisi-Fotografi-1199x800.jpg 1199w, https:\/\/drsevalkarasati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Tirnak-Hastaliklari-Tedavisi-Fotografi-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/drsevalkarasati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Tirnak-Hastaliklari-Tedavisi-Fotografi-1536x1025.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1625px) 100vw, 1625px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Nail_Symptoms_May_Be_a_Sign_of_a_Serious_Disease\"><\/span>Which Nail Symptoms May Be a Sign of a Serious Disease?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Some changes you notice in your nails may require you to consult a specialist. These symptoms can sometimes be the first sign of a more serious underlying condition. The findings that require the most attention are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Clubbing<\/li>\n<li>Spoon nails (Koilonychia)<\/li>\n<li>Muehrcke&#8217;s lines<\/li>\n<li>Terry&#8217;s nails<\/li>\n<li>Onycholysis (Separation of the nail from the bed)<\/li>\n<li>Mee&#8217;s lines<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These terms may sound unfamiliar to you, so it is useful to explain them briefly. &#8220;Clubbing&#8221; is the bulging of the nail and swelling of the fingertip, and it may indicate chronic lung or heart problems. &#8220;Spoon nails&#8221; are when the middle of the nail collapses and looks like a spoon, and it can most commonly mean severe iron deficiency anemia.<\/p>\n<p>Muehrcke&#8217;s lines (parallel white bands in the nail bed) and Terry&#8217;s nails (when almost the entire nail turns white) may be associated with kidney and liver problems, respectively. Onycholysis, that is, the separation of the nail from the nail bed, may indicate that your thyroid gland is overactive (hyperthyroidism). Mee&#8217;s lines, on the other hand, may indicate a more serious systemic problem or exposure to a toxic substance.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_and_When_Is_a_Nail_Biopsy_Necessary\"><\/span>Why and When Is a Nail Biopsy Necessary?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A nail biopsy is a &#8220;gold standard&#8221; method used when the diagnosis of a problem in the nail cannot be clarified through clinical examination, fungal testing, or other simple methods. Sometimes a nail disorder may mimic more than one disease. For example, a thickening in the nail may be any of the following problems.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nail fungus<\/li>\n<li>Nail psoriasis<\/li>\n<li>Nail lichen planus<\/li>\n<li>Trauma<\/li>\n<li>A benign or malignant tumor<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is precisely in this case of uncertainty, that is, to make a definite distinction between inflammatory diseases, infections, and especially tumors affecting the nail, that a biopsy is necessary. If there is a non-healing wound on the nail, a suspicious color change, or a condition that does not respond to standard treatments, taking a small tissue sample is essential for a definitive diagnosis.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Nail_Biopsy_Important_for_Suspected_Cancer\"><\/span>Is Nail Biopsy Important for Suspected Cancer?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yes, it is absolutely of vital importance. Some lesions under or around the nail may unfortunately be a sign of skin cancers, and these conditions are often confused with other problems.<\/p>\n<p>It is necessary to draw attention to two important conditions. The first of these is Acral Lentiginous Melanoma. This usually begins as a longitudinal, dark-colored (black or brown) line (band) under the nail. Over time, this line may widen, change in tone, or spread to the skin around the nail (cuticle). Since this finding may be an aggressive type of skin cancer called melanoma, urgent biopsy is required in such a case.<\/p>\n<p>The second is another type of skin cancer called Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC). This type of cancer may hide itself under or around the nail with the appearance of a chronic non-healing wound, a callus-like thickening, or an inflammation similar to &#8220;paronychia.&#8221; Especially in chronic nail infection appearances lasting for months and not responding to treatments, a biopsy is mandatory to rule out the possibility of an underlying SCC.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Will_a_Nail_Biopsy_Cause_Permanent_Damage_to_My_Nail\"><\/span>Will a Nail Biopsy Cause Permanent Damage to My Nail?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This is one of the issues that patients worry about the most, and it varies depending on where the biopsy is taken from. If the suspicion is only a fungal infection and a sample (clipping) is taken from the free edge of the nail or from the debris under the nail, this procedure causes no permanent damage to the nail.<\/p>\n<p>However, if it is necessary to take a biopsy from the &#8220;matrix&#8221; region (the root part at the base of the nail), which is the growth center of the nail, for the diagnosis of a suspicious lesion or inflammatory disease, there is a risk involved. Since this procedure is an intervention on the root structure of the nail, there is a risk of developing a permanent split, line, or irregularity (dystrophy) in the nail after the procedure.<\/p>\n<p>What is important here is the risk-benefit balance. The risk of missing a possible cancer diagnosis far outweighs the risk of a cosmetic disorder that may occur in the nail after a biopsy. The procedure is performed completely painlessly by numbing the area (digital block).<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Must_the_Diagnosis_of_Nail_Fungus_Be_Confirmed\"><\/span>Why Must the Diagnosis of Nail Fungus Be Confirmed?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Nail fungus (Onychomycosis) manifests itself with thickening in the nail, color change (yellow-brown), and easy breakage. However, these findings may look exactly the same as many other conditions such as nail psoriasis, trauma-related changes, or nail deterioration due to circulatory disorder.<\/p>\n<p>Treatments for nail fungus, especially oral (systemic) medications, are used for a long period (for months) and may have potential side effects (e.g. effects on the liver). For this reason, it is very wrong to start treatment based on hearsay or only by looking at the appearance. Starting this long and costly treatment without laboratory confirmation (seeing fungal cells under the microscope in nail scrapings or growth in culture) leads both to unnecessary drug use and, if the underlying problem is another disease such as psoriasis, to loss of time.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Oral_Treatments_Are_Used_for_Nail_Fungus\"><\/span>Which Oral Treatments Are Used for Nail Fungus?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If nail fungus has affected the root of the nail (matrix), is seen in more than one nail, or is very advanced, superficial treatments such as cream or polish usually fail. In these cases, systemic (oral) antifungal medications that reach the root of the nail through the bloodstream are required.<\/p>\n<p>Oral treatments treat the fungus from the nail root through the blood. They are generally used for 6 weeks for fingernails and 12 weeks for toenails. The most commonly used medications are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Terbinafine<\/li>\n<li>Itraconazole<\/li>\n<li>Fluconazole<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Among these medications, Terbinafine stands out as one of the options with the highest success rate, especially in toenail fungus. Which medication is suitable for you is decided by evaluating your current health condition and the other medications you use. During these treatments, liver functions may need to be monitored with blood tests.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-1151116752 > .col-inner {\n  margin: 0px 0px -45px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_978581590 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n  padding-bottom: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\t<section class=\"section\" id=\"section_886105165\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-999408596\">\r\n\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1621028311\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner box-shadow-3\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"is-border\"\n\t\tstyle=\"border-color:rgb(196, 135, 135);border-width:3px 3px 3px 3px;\">\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-1727442450\">\r\n\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-548984691\" class=\"col medium-8 small-12 large-8\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n\t<div id=\"text-2813625070\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\r\n<div><strong>Contact Us for Anything You Wonder About Skin Health!<\/strong><\/div>\r\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-2813625070 {\n  font-size: 2.25rem;\n  text-align: center;\n  color: #c48787;\n}\n#text-2813625070 > * {\n  color: #c48787;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #text-2813625070 {\n    text-align: left;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-548984691 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 10px 30px 0px 30px;\n  margin: 0px 0px -30px 0px;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #col-548984691 > .col-inner {\n    padding: 0px 0px 0px 30px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1253308420\" class=\"col medium-4 small-12 large-4\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n<a class=\"button success expand\" >\n\t\t<span>Contact via WhatsApp<\/span>\n\t<i class=\"icon-whatsapp\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a>\n\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-1253308420 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 30px 30px 10px 30px;\n  margin: 0px 0px -30px 0px;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #col-1253308420 > .col-inner {\n    padding: 30px 30px 0px 0px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-1621028311 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 20px 0px 20px 0px;\n  margin: 0px 0px -30px 0px;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #col-1621028311 > .col-inner {\n    padding: 20px 20px 20px 20px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_886105165 {\n  padding-top: 0px;\n  padding-bottom: 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\t<section class=\"section\" id=\"section_1115808940\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-1573760023\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-834958395\" class=\"col large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_Cream_or_Polish_Treatments_Sufficient_for_Nail_Fungus\"><\/span>Are Cream or Polish Treatments Sufficient for Nail Fungus?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Topical (superficial) treatments may only be tried in superficial or early-stage fungal infections involving a very small part of the nail, where the nail root (lunula) is not affected. They are also an option in patients who cannot use oral medication (e.g. liver disease, drug interaction).<\/p>\n<p>The biggest difficulty of these treatments is that the medication (polish or solution) cannot sufficiently pass through the thick nail plate to reach the site of the infection. The chance of success increases with regular professional thinning of the nail (debridement) and very long-term (6-12 months) patient use.

Treatment depends on which part of the nail is affected by psoriasis. There may be different appearances in the nail.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pits (Pitting)<\/li>\n<li>Oil drop (Salmon patch)<\/li>\n<li>Separation of the nail from the bed (Onycholysis)<\/li>\n<li>Thickening under the nail (Subungual hyperkeratosis)<\/li>\n<li>Crumbling of the nail plate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Treatment is guided according to these findings. If the problem is in the root of the nail (usually &#8220;pits&#8221; indicate this), the most effective method is direct cortisone injection with a needle into the nail root (matrix). If the problem is in the nail bed (usually &#8220;oil drop&#8221; or nail separation), high-potency topical cortisone or vitamin D-containing solutions applied to the nail folds or under the nail may be tried.<\/p>\n<p>In cases of multiple nail involvement, if there is severe destruction in the nails, or if the patient also has severe skin psoriasis, it is necessary to switch to systemic treatments such as methotrexate, cyclosporine, or biological agents (injection treatments).<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Is_the_Treatment_of_Nail_Lichen_Planus_Important\"><\/span>Why Is the Treatment of Nail Lichen Planus Important?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Nail Lichen Planus is an aggressive inflammatory disease that can cause serious and permanent damage to the nail root (matrix). It may lead to thinning and splitting of the nail and, most importantly, to &#8220;pterygium&#8221; (wing), in which the skin at the base of the nail adheres to the nail bed, causing the nail to be permanently destroyed.<\/p>\n<p>Because of this risk of permanent scarring, aggressive and rapid treatment is essential when nail lichen planus is diagnosed or suspected. In involvement of a small number of nails, as in nail psoriasis, cortisone injections directly into the nail root are the first choice. In widespread and severe involvement, it is necessary to start systemic (oral) medications.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Needle_Injection_Treatment_into_the_Nail_Root_Painful\"><\/span>Is Needle (Injection) Treatment into the Nail Root Painful?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The injection procedure into the nail root (matrix), used in the treatment of both nail psoriasis and lichen planus, may sound painful. The nail area is a sensitive area where nerve endings are very dense, and the procedure may be painful if anesthesia is not performed.<\/p>\n<p>However, there is a very effective anesthesia method that completely numbs this area. In this method, called Digital Nerve Block (Finger Block), the needle is applied to the main nerves at the base of the finger. This ensures that the entire finger becomes completely numb within 5-10 minutes. After the block is achieved, the actual treatment injection into the nail root is not felt by the patient. This method is a standard practice to ensure the patient&#8217;s compliance with the treatment.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Is_the_Treatment_of_%E2%80%9CWhitlow%E2%80%9D_That_Is_Paronychia_Carried_Out\"><\/span>How Is the Treatment of &#8220;Whitlow,&#8221; That Is, Paronychia, Carried Out?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Paronychia is the inflammation of the skin fold around the nail. It is popularly known as &#8220;whitlow.&#8221; There are two types, and their treatments are completely different.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Acute Paronychia (Sudden Onset)<\/li>\n<li>Chronic Paronychia (Persistent)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Acute paronychia is usually bacterial (for example Staphylococcus), starts suddenly, and causes severe pain, redness, and swelling. It usually develops after manicure trauma or tearing off a hangnail. If an abscess has developed, it needs to be surgically drained and antibiotic creams should be used.<\/p>\n<p>Chronic paronychia, on the other hand, begins more insidiously, lasts longer than 6 weeks, and swelling and redness are more prominent than pain. The protective cuticle layer at the base of the nail has disappeared. This condition is usually caused by fungus (Candida) and is seen in people whose hands are constantly in contact with water, detergents, or chemicals (cleaning workers, cooks, healthcare workers).<\/p>\n<p>The success of chronic paronychia treatment depends more on the patient&#8217;s behavioral change than on medications. The basis of treatment is keeping the area dry. It is essential for the patient to definitely use gloves in all kinds of work requiring contact with water or chemicals (rubber gloves with cotton lining inside are ideal) and to avoid cutting the nail skin (cuticle). If these measures are not taken, no matter how strong the antifungal medications used are, the inflammation will recur continuously because of the constantly moist environment.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-834958395 > .col-inner {\n  margin: 0px 0px -45px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_1115808940 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n  padding-bottom: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\t<section class=\"section\" id=\"section_331288612\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-1253452946\">\r\n\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1357523012\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner box-shadow-3\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"is-border\"\n\t\tstyle=\"border-color:rgb(138, 129, 124);border-width:3px 3px 3px 3px;\">\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-1008044913\">\r\n\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1060620946\" class=\"col medium-8 small-12 large-8\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n\t<div id=\"text-735135136\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\r\n<div><strong>Contact Us for Anything You Wonder About Skin Health!<\/strong><\/div>\r\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-735135136 {\n  font-size: 2.25rem;\n  text-align: center;\n  color: #8a817c;\n}\n#text-735135136 > * {\n  color: #8a817c;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #text-735135136 {\n    text-align: left;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-1060620946 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 10px 30px 0px 30px;\n  margin: 0px 0px -30px 0px;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #col-1060620946 > .col-inner {\n    padding: 0px 0px 0px 30px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-416514309\" class=\"col medium-4 small-12 large-4\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n<a class=\"button success expand\" >\n\t\t<span>Contact via WhatsApp<\/span>\n\t<i class=\"icon-whatsapp\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a>\n\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-416514309 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 30px 30px 10px 30px;\n  margin: 0px 0px -30px 0px;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #col-416514309 > .col-inner {\n    padding: 30px 30px 0px 0px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-1357523012 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 20px 0px 20px 0px;\n  margin: 0px 0px -30px 0px;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #col-1357523012 > .col-inner {\n    padding: 20px 20px 20px 20px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_331288612 {\n  padding-top: 0px;\n  padding-bottom: 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\t<section class=\"section\" id=\"section_578912900\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-930790836\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1189803330\" class=\"col large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Is_the_Treatment_of_Warts_Around_the_Nail_Difficult\"><\/span>Why Is the Treatment of Warts Around the Nail Difficult?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Periungual warts, that is, warts around the nail, are one of the most difficult types of warts to treat. The reason for this is that the visible part of the wart is only the tip of the iceberg; the wart tissue usually extends deeply under the nail and toward the root.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, aggressive treatments applied to this area (cauterization, freezing) carry the risk of damaging the growth root of the nail (matrix) and causing permanent nail deformity. Therefore, treatment requires patience and expertise. Some of the treatment methods used are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cryotherapy (Freezing treatment)<\/li>\n<li>Acid-containing solutions<\/li>\n<li>Chemical ablation (e.g.: Cantharidin)<\/li>\n<li>Ablative laser (CO2 Laser)<\/li>\n<li>Drug applications combined with laser<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Especially in resistant cases, combined methods such as opening micro-channels in the wart tissue with fractional CO2 laser and enabling anti-wart medications (e.g.: Bleomycin) to penetrate deeply through these channels can offer higher success rates without damaging the nail root.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_There_a_Permanent_Treatment_Solution_for_Ingrown_Nails\"><\/span>Is There a Permanent Treatment Solution for Ingrown Nails?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yes, there is. Ingrown nail is generally when the side edge of the nail sinks into the skin and becomes inflamed as a result of incorrect nail cutting or wearing tight shoes. Simply removing the ingrown nail piece or removing the entire nail is not a permanent solution. Since the nail root (matrix) will continue to produce that nail in the same way, the ingrown condition will most likely recur when the nail grows.<\/p>\n<p>The permanent solution is to permanently destroy not only the ingrown nail piece but also the nail root (matrix) that produces that piece.<\/p>\n<p>For this, the gold standard method is the combination of partial lateral matricectomy (partial removal of the nail root) and phenol ablation (chemical destruction). This is a small, extremely effective surgical procedure performed under local anesthesia (by numbing only the finger).<\/p>\n<p>In this procedure, the steps are as follows.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The finger is completely numbed.<\/li>\n<li>The ingrown nail strip (usually 3 mm) is surgically removed all the way to its root.<\/li>\n<li>The root (matrix) tissue in that area is mechanically cleaned (curettage).<\/li>\n<li>A chemical called &#8216;Phenol&#8217; is applied to the area to destroy any root cells that may have remained.<\/li>\n<li>Since Phenol also affects the nerve endings in the area, pain after the procedure is usually minimal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This combined method is the most reliable and effective method, minimizing the recurrence rate of ingrown nails (the recurrence rate is very low). After the procedure, the nail looks only slightly narrower than before, but the ingrown problem is permanently resolved.<\/p>\n\t<div id=\"text-1174622806\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-1174622806 {\n  font-size: 1.25rem;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<div class=\"accordion\">\n\t<div id=\"accordion-2455973086\" class=\"accordion-item\">\n\t\t<a id=\"accordion-2455973086-label\" class=\"accordion-title plain\" href=\"#accordion-item-how-long-does-nail-diseases-treatment-take?\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-2455973086-content\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle\"><i class=\"icon-angle-down\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/button>\n\t\t\t<span>How long does nail diseases treatment take?<\/span>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<div id=\"accordion-2455973086-content\" class=\"accordion-inner\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-2455973086-label\">\n\t\t\t\n<p>The treatment duration of nail diseases varies according to the type and severity of the disease.
