Nail Tumors
Nail tumors are abnormal growths affecting the nail unit, requiring medical evaluation to determine whether they are benign or malignant.
About Nail Tumors
Nail tumors are abnormal tissue growths that develop in or around the nail plate, nail bed, or surrounding structures. These growths may be benign or, in rare cases, malignant, and can cause changes in nail color, shape, thickness, or growth pattern. Nail tumors may present as swelling, discoloration, pain, bleeding, or nail deformity. Early diagnosis is important to prevent complications and ensure appropriate treatment. At our clinic, an experienced dermatologist in Ludhiana performs a detailed examination of the nail unit to identify suspicious changes. Diagnostic procedures may be recommended if needed. Under the supervision of a certified skin specialist in Ludhiana, nail tumors are managed with precision, safety, and evidence-based care

Based on the diagnosis, a personalized treatment plan is created, which may include monitoring, medical treatment, or surgical intervention depending on the type and severity of the tumor.
