What is a Deformed Nail?
A deformed nail refers to any abnormal change in the shape, texture, thickness, or color of the nail. Nail deformities can affect one or multiple nails and may result from injury, infection, nutritional deficiencies, or underlying medical conditions.
Causes of Deformed Nails
Fungal Infections (Onychomycosis): Can cause thickening, brittleness, and uneven growth.
Injury or Trauma: Damage to the nail matrix leads to abnormal nail growth.
Psoriasis or Eczema: Nail pitting, ridges, and thickening may occur.
Congenital Conditions: Some individuals are born with nail deformities.
Nutritional Deficiencies: Lack of vitamins or minerals, particularly biotin, iron, or zinc.
Systemic Diseases: Thyroid disorders, diabetes, or circulatory issues may affect nails.
Repeated Chemical Exposure: Harsh nail products or detergents can weaken nails.
