Skin, Hair & Nails

Understanding Nail Disorders

Nails reflect systemic health. Common concerns: onychomycosis (fungal), brittle nails (onychoschizia), longitudinal ridges, Beau's lines, koilonychia (spoon nails), clubbing, pitting (psoriasis), thinning (lichen planus), discolouration, onycholysis. Causes: nutritional, fungal, inflammatory, traumatic, systemic, drug-induced.

Homoeopathy addresses the constitutional terrain — nutritional assimilation, fungal susceptibility, psoriatic/lichen planus diathesis, and matrix health — promoting healthy nail regrowth from the root.

How Homoeopathy Helps

  • • Strengthens brittle, splitting, peeling nails
  • • Reduces fungal recurrence by improving local immunity
  • • Improves psoriatic nail pitting, onycholysis, oil spots
  • • Addresses lichen planus nail thinning, ridging, pterygium
  • • Corrects nutritional assimilation (iron, zinc, biotin, protein)
  • • Promotes healthy regrowth after trauma/illness

Common Presentations Treated

  • Onychomycosis (fungal nails)
  • Brittle nails / onychoschizia
  • Longitudinal ridging (age-related or systemic)
  • Psoriatic nail dystrophy
  • Lichen planus nail changes
  • Beau's lines (post-illness growth arrest)
  • Onycholysis (separation from bed)
  • Drug-induced nail changes

    • Consultation Process

    1. 01 Nail examination: all 20 nails, pattern, colour, texture, periungual skin
    2. 02 KOH mount / culture for fungal confirmation if indicated
    3. 03 Systemic review: nutrition, thyroid, iron, psoriasis, lichen planus, medications
    4. 04 Constitutional case-taking: thermal, digestive, skin, personality
    5. 05 Individualised prescription with 4–6 weekly follow-ups
    6. 06 Patience — full regrowth takes 6–12 months (fingernails), 12–18 (toenails)

    When to Seek Care

    Consult for progressive dystrophy, pain, infection signs, sudden changes, or cosmetic concern. Single nail changes warrant exclusion of tumour/melanoma.

    Dermatology referral: Suspected subungual melanoma (longitudinal melanonychia), severe onychomycosis needing oral antifungals, nail psoriasis with joint symptoms, or lichen planus with scarring.
