Hair & Nail disorders: Unmasking the Roots at Smart Skin Dermatology

Hair and nails, the crowning glories of our outward appearance, can be a double-edged sword. While they enhance our beauty and individuality, they can also become canvases for a myriad of concerns, both aesthetic and indicative of deeper issues. At Smart Skin Dermatology, we delve beyond the surface, unraveling the mysteries of hair and nails to reveal the true story they tell.

The Complex Interplay

Hair and nails, despite their seemingly distinct nature, are intimately connected to our overall health. Conditions affecting them can be both isolated concerns or symptoms of underlying dermatological or medical issues. This complexity is why so many general practitioners and other dermatologists refer patients to our specialized expertise.

Within the realm of hair and nails lies a diverse landscape of diagnoses:

Alopecia

Hair loss, in its various forms, can be caused by genetics, stress, hormonal changes, autoimmune conditions, and even medications.

Seborrheic Dermatitis

This scaly, red, and itchy condition can affect the scalp, face, and even chest, often mirroring dandruff but with deeper implications.

Onycholysis

The separation of the nail plate from the nail bed can be triggered by trauma, infections, or systemic diseases like psoriasis.

Onychomycosis

Fungal infections of the nails, presenting with discoloration, thickening, and brittleness, can be stubborn and require specialized treatment.
