Our dermatologists recognize that nails reflect your general health. A change in your fingernails or touch as discoloration, swelling, or thickening may indicate a serious health problem, and inhibit social relationships as well as everyday activities. At American Hospital Dubai, our skincare specialists offer non-invasive pain-relief treatment options for nail diseases of all types of nails sund conditions.
Nails are made up of a hard protein called keratin and provide the first defense to protect fingers and toes from injury or damage. When nails are chipped, discolored, or infected, they indicate something is way off the beam with the individual’s general health, and require adequate treatment in order to restore the overall health.
There is a wide range of nail diseases, affecting nails and bodies differently and requiring different solutions for effective management. Some factors believed to cause nail disorders are infections (such as warts and green nail syndrome), injuries, internal diseases & skin diseases like psoriasis and (e.g. certain lung diseases, diabetes), weakened immune systems, nail fungus (onychomycosis), structural problems and birth deformities, medication, poor blood circulation, and/or use of acrylic nails or nail colors. These abnormalities result in discoloration, deformation, chipping, and even the loss of the finger or toenails.
At American Hospital Dubai, our skincare experts have extensive experience in treating all types of nail conditions. Whether your nail disease requires a cosmetic change or medical treatment, book a consultation with our dermatologists, and experience effective pain management as well as enhanced appearance of the nail.

If you experience any abnormality in your finger or toenail, it is important to be watchful for cardinal signs and symptoms and see the doctor have your nails evaluated.
