Nail and Hair Basics

Nail and hair concerns can often times be complicated. While some issues can be completely harmless, others can serve as warning signs for more serious medical concerns that have deeper meaning than outward appearance, often times being directly related to levels of stress. It is important for humans’ overall health to maintain healthy hair and nails.

Nail and Hair Treatment

Examples of nail and hair concerns that we provide treatment for:

Alopecia (hair-loss) – Alopecia can affect just the scalp or the entire body of both men and women. It can be caused by heredity, medications or an underlying medical condition.

Hirsutism (unwanted hair) – Hirsutsm is male-pattern hair growth seen in women. It results in excessive amounts of course and pigmented hair in areas where men typically grow hair, including the face, chest and back.

Nail psoriasis – Most people with nail psoriasis also have skin psoriasis. The cause of nail psoriasis is not completely known, but it appears to be a result of genetic, immunologic, or environmental factors. Some signs of nail psoriasis include clear yellow-red discoloration under the nail plate, loosening or crumbling of the nail, pits in the nail, or areas of white on the nail plate.
