Trauma to the nails can lead to discoloration, splitting, ridging, bleeding under the nail (subungual hematoma), or even nail loss.
Common causes include crushing injuries, excessive pressure from footwear, nail-biting, or chemical exposure. If left untreated, traumatic nail conditions can result in infections, deformities, or chronic pain.
FAQ: Traumatic Nail
A traumatic nail injury refers to damage caused by physical impact, crushing, or repetitive stress. It can lead to nail discoloration, detachment, deformity, or infection.
Common causes include accidents, sports injuries, improper nail trimming, and frequent exposure to harsh chemicals.
We offer expert diagnosis and advanced treatments, including laser therapy, medication, and surgical correction if necessary, to restore nail health and appearance.
Recovery time varies depending on the severity of the injury but typically ranges from a few weeks to several months as the nail grows out.
If you experience severe pain, excessive bleeding, nail detachment, infection, or persistent deformity, consult our specialists for prompt treatment.
