If you’re having nail problems, then you’ll want to take a holistic approach to treating them. This means considering lifestyle modifications as well as medical treatments.

Before using any allopathic medicine or ointment for your nails, it is important to identify the source of the problem and determine the best course of action. Nail issues can be caused by various things such as fungal infections, psoriasis, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal changes and even trauma and injury. A dermatologist or other medical professional can help diagnose the issue so that an appropriate treatment plan can be put into place.

Nutrition plays an important role in maintaining healthy nails and should not be overlooked when looking for solutions. Make sure your diet includes plenty of foods rich in vitamins A and C, zinc, iron and magnesium as these nutrients are essential for strong nails. You may also want to consider taking a multivitamin supplement which contains these minerals if needed in order to improve nail health over time.

As far as allopathic medicines go there are some options available depending on what type of nail condition you have been diagnosed with:

    1) For fungal infections- antifungal medications such tablets or creams containing clotrimazole or terbinafine work well at clearing up infection quickly;

    2) For inflammation- anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen can reduce swelling around affected areas;

    3) For psoriasis - topical corticosteroid creams help reduce scaling along with ultraviolet light therapy;

    4) To strengthen weak nails – biotin supplements are often recommended;

    5) To correct brittle nails – moisturising lotions provide relief from dryness while strengthening agents like protein treatments help improve elasticity over time;

    6) And finally for injuries– anti-bacterial dressings such as Neosporin will aid healing process effectively without leaving behind any unwanted side effects due to its natural ingredients like vitamins A & E plus olive oil extract & tea tree oil among others.

With all this said however one must note that results vary greatly depending on severity of each case therefore consultation with a professional is always recommended before attempting any kind of self administered treatment plan so that potential risks/side effects may be avoided beforehand proving beneficial overall during long term use!
