Drs. can evaluate: A primary care doctor or dermatologist can evaluate to see why there is pain to the nail. If there is inflammation or nerve irritation, treatment can be provided. If a joint problem is suspected, a hand surgeon and a rheumatologist may be consulted. Meanwhile, one can write down details about what makes the pain come, what makes it go away, when does it happen, what pain meds have been tried, etc.
