Nail allergies and infections are common conditions that affect the health and appearance of your nails. These issues can make your nails look discolored, brittle, swollen, or painful. If not treated on time, they can spread and cause discomfort in your day-to-day life.

Nail allergy usually occurs when your skin or nails react to certain chemicals or products such as nail polish, nail glue, artificial nails, gel nails, or even certain soaps and detergents. The skin around your nails may become red, itchy, swollen, or develop rashes. In some people, the nails may also start lifting from the nail bed or become weak. These reactions are caused when your immune system treats these chemicals as harmful and triggers an allergic response.

On the other hand, nail infections can be caused by bacteria, fungi, or yeast. These infections often begin when there is a small injury or cut near the nail or when moisture gets trapped under the nails. This creates the perfect environment for germs to grow. People who work in water for long hours, or those with poor nail hygiene or diabetes, are more likely to develop nail infections.

At Dr. Neha Sodhi’s Skin Hair & Laser Clinic, we offer specialized treatment for nail allergies and infections in Jalandhar. Our treatment begins with a proper examination to identify the cause whether it’s an allergic reaction or a fungal or bacterial infection. Based on the diagnosis, we may recommend topical creams, oral medications, antifungal treatments, or lifestyle changes to prevent recurrence. In severe cases, minor procedures may be required to clean the infected nail area.

Treating nail allergies and infections early is important to avoid long-term damage to the nail or spread of infection to nearby fingers or toes. It also helps restore the natural look and health of your nails.
