Toenail & Fingernail Disorders

Brittle, discolored, and irregular toenails or fingernails can have many causes, including fungal or bacterial infections, injuries, diseases, and medications.

Infections
Fungal infections are a common cause of brittle nails, especially toenails. This can cause discoloration, texture changes, and separation from the nail bed.

Injuries
Nail biting can cause brittle nails.
Wearing shoes that are too small can cause abnormal pressure on the nails.

Diseases
Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that can cause brittle nails, discoloration, and longitudinal ridging.
Lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that can cause discoloration, splitting, and ridging of toenails and fingernails.
Diabetes can cause nail discoloration.
Aging can cause nails to become brittle or discolored.
