Definition of terms:
1.   Nail diseases - are conditions of both
the nail, and the surrounding skin which
result from bacterial, fungal and viral
infections. Some conditions will show a
green, yellow or black discoloration of the
nail, depending on the nature of the
infection. The main course for infection is
through damaged cuticles and broken skin.
  Many disorders can affect the
nails. These disorders can affect
any portion of the nail unit and
can impact the appearance of
the nail plate itself.
Given below is a list of the few important nail diseases and
disorders and their characteristics.
1. Blue nails :

Characteristics:
It is bluish in color, may be attributed to poor blood circulation
or heart disorder.

2. Brittle nails-

Characteristics:
It is a vertical splitting or separation of
the nail plate layers at the distal (free)
edge of the nail plate. Over exposure to
detergent soap and other chemical
solvents may attribute to the effect.
3. Bruised nails

Characteristics :
It shows dark purplish (almost black
or brown) spots in the nail.
This is usually due to injury and
bleeding of the nail bed. As the nail
grows, dried blood in the nail bed will
also go out.
4. Eggshell nails

Characteristics:
The nail plate separates from the nailbed and
curves at the free edge. It may be caused by
chronic illness of the systemic or nervous
origin.
5. Furrows

Characteristics:
These are long ridges that run either
lengthwise or across the nail. Some lengthwise
ridges are normal in adults. These ridges
increase with age and can also be caused by
psoriasis, poor circulation and frostbite.
Ridges that run across the nail are caused by
high fevers, pregnancy & measles.
6. Hang nails

Characteristics:
It is a condition in which the cuticle
splits around the nail. Carelessness
in removing the cuticle, dryness,
cutting off too much may result in
hangnails. It may cause infection if
not treated.
7. Leconychia or white spot

Characteristic:
White spot appears frequently in the
nails. They may be caused by injury
to the base of the nail. As the nail
continues to grow, these white spots
eventually disappear
