What is it?
Nail deformities in children refer to abnormal shape, thickness, surface, or growth of the nails. These may appear as ridges, dents, curved nails, thickened nails, or irregular nail growth. Nail deformities can be present from birth or develop due to trauma, infections, nutritional deficiencies, or underlying skin or medical conditions.
How it works
At Claire Derma, evaluation focuses on identifying the cause of nail deformities and assessing nail growth patterns. The dermatologist examines the nails, nail beds, and surrounding skin and reviews the child’s medical and developmental history. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may include medical therapy, nail care guidance, or monitoring.
