Nail Discolouration Treatment & Diagnosis
Worried About Yellow, White, Brown, or Dark Nails?
What We Offer
Clinical Evaluation for Nail Colour Changes
At SkinSculpt, we examine the pattern, colour, duration, number of nails affected, associated pain, nail thickness, surrounding skin changes, and any history of trauma or medication use.
Depending on the cause, treatment may include antifungal care, anti-inflammatory treatment, nail protection advice, dermoscopic evaluation, or further investigation when required.
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Nail discolouration can be caused by fungus, trauma, pigmentation, medication, psoriasis, eczema, bacterial infection, or other nail disorders.
Some dark lines are harmless, but a new, changing, widening, or single dark streak should be examined by a dermatologist.
If the cause is treated properly, the nail may gradually improve as new nail grows. This can take time because nails grow slowly.
Your dermatologist may suggest fungal testing, dermoscopy, blood tests, or biopsy depending on the pattern and suspected cause.
