Fungal and bacterial infections of the skin around the nails are very common, especially in people whose hands remain in contact with water for a long time. These infections may also occur if the nail cuticle is injured, for example, after a manicure.
Apart from these disorders, there may be other minor nail problems like nail pitting, white patches on the nails, brittle nails, etc.
After treatment is initiated, cure often takes several months because nails, especially toes nails, take a long time to regenerate.
