Can I care for dystrophic nails at home?

Don’t try to treat dystrophic nails without your healthcare provider’s help. Nail problems can get worse and lead to serious infections, especially if you have diabetes or other health conditions.

If your nail was damaged by trauma, the damaged nail may take several months to grow out. See your healthcare provider so you can discuss the best way to treat your nail while it heals.
