What are discoloured nails?
Discoloured nails are those nails that have changed in colour; this may be the whole nail or just parts. Nail discolouration may appear as spots, stripes, or half and half. Discolouration may affect one toenail or all toenails. A normal toenail should be a healthy pink colour. Discoloured nails can be a cause for concern, but understanding the underlying causes, prevention methods, and available treatments can help to maintain healthy and beautiful nails.
Discoloured nails can be caused by:
- Fungal nail infections.
- Trauma or injury.
- Nail polish stains.
- Underlying health issues.
- Medications.
- Smoking.
