Chronic nail infections are long-standing infections affecting the nail and surrounding skin. They may be caused by fungi, bacteria, or repeated irritation from moisture and chemicals. Symptoms include nail discoloration, thickening, swelling around the nail, pain, or discharge.

At ClairéDerma, treatment focuses on identifying the cause and providing long-term control. Dermatologists may use:

Clinical examination and lab tests if required

Antifungal or antibacterial medications

Nail trimming or partial removal if severely affected

Treatment of surrounding skin inflammation

Lifestyle and hygiene guidance to prevent recurrence
