Onycholysis (from the Greek: onyx - nail, lysis - dissolution) is a disease that is characterized by the detachment of the nail plate from the nail bed, resulting in the formation of a void between them. As a result, the nail plate changes color and becomes bluish-white, yellow or brown, depending on the cause that led to the problem.
The separation of the nail plate from the bed begins at the free, distal edge and gradually progresses towards the proximal edge, to the area of the nail lunula.
In order for the treatment of onycholysis to bring results, you first need to determine the cause of its occurrence, which can be either infectious or non-infectious.
