What is it?
Nail infections in children occur when bacteria or fungi infect the nails or surrounding skin. These infections may cause nail discoloration, thickening, brittleness, pain, swelling, redness, or separation of the nail from the nail bed. Nail infections can affect fingernails or toenails and may worsen if left untreated, leading to discomfort and nail damage.
How it works
At Claire Derma, treatment focuses on identifying the type of infection and treating it effectively. The dermatologist examines the affected nails and surrounding skin and may recommend tests to confirm whether the infection is bacterial or fungal. Treatment may include topical or oral medications, proper nail care guidance, and hygiene measures to prevent spread and recurrence.
