Exogenous nail formation disorders are mostly caused by external influences such as injuries. Therefore, care should be taken to avoid injury to the nail as much as possible.
Review of permanent medication due topossible effect on the existing disease.
Avoidance of environmental stress:
Arsenic
Carbon monoxide
Thallium
Operative therapy
Ingrown toenail (unguis incarnatus) is one of the most common surgical indications on the nail. This is performed as a lateral matrix horn resection using sharp dissection of the matrix horn or phenol caustic (fewer recurrences/recurrence of the disease, less painful).
For lateral (side) tumors on the nail organ or melanonychia (longitudinal striate nail pigmentation), a lateral longitudinal nail biopsy is performed.
In malignant (malignant) tumors, as far as the lateral part of the needle apparatus is affected, a lateral nail excision (surgical needle removal) is performed.
Conventional non-surgical therapeutic procedures
In endogenous nail formation disorders, improvement can only be achieved by treating the underlying disease.
Nutritional medicine
Nutritional counseling based on nutritional analysis
Nutritional recommendations according to a mixed diet taking into account the disease at hand. This means, among other things:
Daily total of 5 servings of fresh vegetables and fruits (≥ 400 g; 3 servings of vegetables and 2 servings of fruits).
Once or twice a week fresh sea fish, i.e. fatty marine fish (omega-3 fatty acids) such as salmon, herring, mackerel.
