How To Prevent Nail Disorders

There are many steps you can take to prevent nail disorders from occurring. Some of these include keeping your feet clean, dry, and moisturized daily, clipping your toenails properly—straight across—with nail clippers, and always wearing well-fitting shoes. Besides that, it may also help to avoid biting your nails and pushing back your cuticles, which are your nail’s natural defense against germs. If you do notice anything unusual or feel discomfort around your nails, reach out to our doctors right away.
