Whether it’s thickened toenails, odd discoloration, peeling, pitting, or a sudden change in shape—your nails are talking, and at Regenerative Aesthetics and Dermatology in Laguna Hills, CA, we’re fluent in nail speak.
Nail disorders can be cosmetic, medical, or a little bit of both. From fungal infections and psoriasis-related nail changes to ingrown nails, melanonychia, or even signs of autoimmune conditions, your nails can reflect more than just your manicure routine. If something looks off, it’s worth getting checked—especially since early treatment often leads to better outcomes (and fewer long sleeves to hide your hands).
We treat a full spectrum of nail conditions, including onychomycosis (fungal nails), onycholysis (lifting nails), nail dystrophy, trauma-related nail changes, nail psoriasis, paronychia (nail fold infections), and more. Treatment options range from topical and oral medications to laser therapy, nail avulsion, and biopsy when needed. Whether you’re dealing with pain, embarrassment, or just a nail mystery you can’t solve—we’re here to help.
There are a lot of potential culprits: fungal or bacterial infections, trauma, psoriasis, eczema, autoimmune conditions, and even vitamin deficiencies. Some changes in your nails may also be signs of internal health issues. That’s why accurate diagnosis matters—and why it’s best not to ignore nail changes that stick around.
Thickened, yellowish, brittle, or crumbly nails are classic signs of onychomycosis, a common fungal infection. It can affect fingernails or toenails, and it’s often persistent without proper treatment. OTC creams usually don’t cut it—we have prescription options and targeted treatments that actually work.
Yes! Nail psoriasis can cause pitting, discoloration, and nail separation from the nail bed (onycholysis). Eczema can lead to chronic irritation around the nail folds. If you have a history of these conditions—or suspect something’s off—we’ll assess your nails and skin together to find the right treatment.
Treatment depends on the cause. We may use topical antifungals or steroids, oral medications, laser therapy, or nail debridement or removal in more severe cases. Sometimes, a biopsy may be needed to rule out rare conditions or confirm a diagnosis. We’ll walk you through every step.
Some are—especially fungal infections and bacterial nail fold infections. If your nail looks abnormal and you’re noticing it spreading to other nails or people in your household, it’s time to call us. Early treatment not only clears things up faster—it also prevents transmission.
If your nail is changing color, thickening, lifting, splitting, painful, or has been abnormal for more than a few weeks, it’s worth a visit. Nails grow slowly, so ignoring changes can delay diagnosis and make treatment tougher later on. We’ve seen it all—no shame, just solutions.
Put your best hands (and feet) forward. Book your nail consultation at Regenerative Aesthetics and Dermatology in Laguna Hills, CA, and let’s get to the root of your nail concerns with expert care that’s clear, kind, and judgment-free.
We would love to hear from you.
