💬 When to See a Dermatologist for Nail Issues

Schedule a consultation if your nails:

  • Are thickened, yellow, brittle, or splitting

  • Show signs of infection, bleeding, or pus

  • Have pits, grooves, or are separating from the nail bed

  • Are painful or discolored without an obvious cause

  • Don’t respond to over-the-counter antifungal or topical products

  • Are changing shape (e.g., clubbing, spooning) or showing signs of systemic illness

Early evaluation can prevent permanent nail damage and uncover underlying skin or health conditions.
