Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Fungal nail infections (onychomycosis) are treated with a combination of topical antifungal lacquers and oral antifungal medications. Treatment typically takes 3–6 months depending on the severity and the nail involved.
Ingrown nails occur when the nail edge grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain and infection. Treatment ranges from conservative management (proper trimming, antiseptics) to partial nail avulsion for recurrent cases.
A dark line on the nail (melanonychia) can be benign or indicate a more serious condition. Dr. Neha Athalye uses nail dermoscopy (onychoscopy) to evaluate the pattern and determine if further investigation is needed.
