Noticed a Growth, Lump, or Unusual Nail Change?

A nail tumour does not always mean cancer. Many nail growths are benign, but any persistent lump, painful swelling, bleeding, nail splitting, deformity, or changing pigmentation should be examined.
Because the nail unit is a small and delicate structure, even a small growth can affect nail shape, comfort, and appearance. Early evaluation helps identify whether the concern is harmless, inflammatory, infectious, or something that needs further testing.

What We Offer

Careful Diagnosis for Nail Growths & Tumours

At SkinSculpt, we assess the nail plate, nail bed, nail fold, pigmentation pattern, pain, bleeding, growth rate, and impact on nail shape. Dermoscopic evaluation or biopsy may be advised when needed. Treatment depends on the type of nail growth. Some conditions may need monitoring, while others may require medication, minor surgical removal, biopsy, or further management.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Many nail tumours and growths are benign. However, persistent, painful, bleeding, growing, or pigmented nail changes should be checked by a dermatologist.

Warning signs include a new or widening dark streak, bleeding, ulceration, nail destruction, rapid growth, pain, or pigmentation spreading to the surrounding skin.

A biopsy may be recommended if the diagnosis is unclear or if the nail change appears suspicious. Your dermatologist will decide based on examination findings.

Some nail growths can damage the nail bed or matrix if untreated. Early diagnosis and proper treatment can help reduce the risk of long-term nail deformity.
