Common nail disorders refer to any abnormal condition that affects the appearance, structure, or overall health of the nails. Some of the most frequently encountered nail disorders include nail fungus (onychomycosis), brittle nails, ingrown nails, nail psoriasis, nail biting (onychophagia), and ingrown toenails. These disorders can cause various symptoms such as discoloration, ridges, brittleness, thickening, or deformity of the nails. While some nail disorders may be a result of poor hygiene or trauma, others could be indicative of underlying health conditions or genetic factors. Proper nail care, maintaining hygiene, and seeking medical attention can help manage and treat these common nail disorders effectively.
