Nails

Nails, both fingernails and toenails, serve as protective coverings for the sensitive tips of fingers and toes and play a significant role in tactile sensation. Healthy nails are smooth, consistent in color, and free of spots or discoloration. Common nail issues include fungal infections, brittleness, splitting, and ingrown nails, which can often be treated with topical or oral medications, proper grooming, and in some cases, minor surgical procedures. Regular maintenance and care, including keeping nails clean and trimmed, are essential for preventing nail problems and ensuring overall nail health.
