2. Ingrown Toenail - Occurs when the nail edge grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, redness, and infection.
3. Nail Psoriasis - Associated with psoriasis, leading to pitting, discoloration, thickening, and nail separation.
4. Paronychia - Infection of the nail folds causing swelling, redness, and pus formation.
