Hi there Thank you for some clear pics. However as your mother is 62 years old, before making a pucca diagnosis and offering treatment, much more details on her medical, personal and socioeconomic history will be required to structure a clear action plan. Any co morbidity eg DM, Pulmonary issues etc needs to be factored in. At the outset, a fungal infection of the nails or a Vascular problem cannot be ruled out and further tests may be required.
Next Steps
Online Consultation ASAP with us or an INSTANT Consultation is recommended 🙏
Health Tips
Avoid washing vessels, clothes etc and getting her hands wet often plus use of detergents to be discouraged.
