Nail Conditions

Many people are surprised to hear that not only do dermatologists take care of skin, but they also specialised in hair and nails too! Nails can break, split, crumble or discolour. This can be due to a variety of different conditions including psoriasis, eczema, nutritional deficiencies, genetic conditions and systemic disease. Both benign and malignant tumours, including BCC, SCC and melanoma, can also grow around or under the nail bed, requiring specialist attention to both diagnose and treat.

It often takes months for a patient to arrive at the correct diagnosis, by which time they’ve often been offered prescribed multiple rounds of topical treatments – often without success. So if you have concerns regarding your nails, make an appointment with your practitioner to discuss your condition today Ph: (07) 5597 7170 or email reception@skincentre.com.au
