Dermatological concerns often extend beyond the skin, encompassing issues with the hair and nails. At Feinstein Dermatology, our board-certified doctors specialize in providing precise diagnoses and comprehensive treatment plans that restore your skin, hair, and nails to full health and vitality. With pride, we address a diverse range of hair and nail conditions, offering skilled care throughout Delray Beach, FL.
Most Common Hair Concerns
Hair loss, formally known as alopecia, is commonly attributed to the natural aging process and genetic factors. However, hair loss can also result from medical conditions, stress, and other factors. Alopecia manifests in diverse forms, each presenting unique challenges and considerations:
- Alopecia areata usually involves a partial loss of hair on the scalp but may sometimes affect other areas of the body.
- Alopecia totalis is an autoimmune condition resulting in complete hair loss on the scalp.
- Alopecia universalis is a rare type of hair loss that can affect the entire body, including the loss of eyebrows and other body hair.
- Anagen Effluvium, refers to hair loss caused by cancer treatments, including radiation and chemotherapy.
Most Common Nail Concerns
Several diseases can also impact the nail beds, presenting challenges and considerations. Some of the most typical conditions affecting the nails include:
- Paronychia is a bacterial, fungal, or viral infection most common among people who have their hands submerged in water for long periods.
- Pseudomonas is an infection between the nail and nail bed, most common in high-humidity environments.
- Onychogryphosis is more commonly known as an ingrown toenail, wherein the plate of the nail curves inward.
Treatment Options
Comprehensive care for your skin and hair health encompasses a holistic strategy, with exciting new treatments available for conditions like alopecia areata, such as LITFULO™ and Olumiant®. Beyond these innovative options, you can personally enhance your well-being through proactive steps. Prioritize your nutrition by incorporating lean proteins, essential vitamins, and antioxidants into your diet, contributing significantly to the luster of your hair and the integrity of your nails. Taking an active role in nourishing your body from within positively reflects on the external health of your skin and hair.
Ensure your daily routine includes regular moisturizing to keep your skin hydrated and supple. Consistent hydration is equally vital for both your skin and hair, as a foundational element in maintaining overall health. By actively integrating these practices into your lifestyle, you empower yourself to contribute positively to the well-being and vibrancy of your skin and hair.
