What is it?
Nail discoloration in children refers to changes in nail color, such as yellowing, whitening, dark spots, or uneven pigmentation of the nails. This may affect one or multiple nails and can be caused by fungal infections, trauma, nutritional deficiencies, medications, or underlying skin or medical conditions. While some color changes are harmless, others may need medical evaluation.
How it works
At Claire Derma, evaluation focuses on identifying the cause of nail color changes. The dermatologist examines the nails and surrounding skin and may recommend tests to rule out infections or other conditions. Treatment is based on the underlying cause and may include antifungal therapy, nutritional support, or changes in nail care practices.
