What have I found out..??!!I have a nail disorder!! I was researching on the different weird symptons of my body and I stumbled upon this scientific term - Onycholysis!! Onycholysis is a common nail disorder. It is the loosening or separation of a fingernail or toenail from its nail bed. It usually starts at the tip of the nail and progresses back. What causes onycholysis? Many things may cause onycholysis. Some of the most common causes are: Repetitive trauma, e.g. daily tapping of long fingernails on a keyboard or counter Overzealous manicure, e.g. manicure tools pushing beneath the nail to clear dirt and overuse of nail cosmetics Prolonged immersion of nails in water. Who gets onycholysis and how is it diagnosed? People of all ages, sex and race can get onycholysis, although it is more frequently seen in female adults. Because so many things can cause onycholysis, your doctor may examine you to check for other skin conditions or medical problems such as thyroid disease. If a fungal infection is suspected, your doctor may clip the nail and scrape a sample of tissue from beneath the nail plate for laboratory testing. What are the signs and symptoms of onycholysis? Irregular border between the pink portion of the nail and the white outside edge of the nail when the nail has lifted from the nail bed. Larger portion of the nail is opaque, can be whitened or discoloured to yellow or green. Discoloration underneath the nail may occur as a result of secondary infection. Depending on the cause, the nail may collect thickened skin underneath the edge of its nail plate and the nail surface may become deformed with pits or indentations. It is usually painless as the separation occurs gradually. Pain may occur if nail is further detached from the nail bed as result of trauma or if active infection sets in. OH MY GOD!!! And I even remembered asking a doctor once what was wrong with my nails to look so unusual?!! AND, he merely said they were FINE?~?!!! I must recall who the hell that doctor looked like!!! Crap!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Now that I know the term of the disorder, please dont tell me it is nothing AGAIN!!! THEY ARE SOMETHING!!! ... Sadly, I cannot brush it aside saying that they are just unusual now that I realise that...I have a problem. Posted by dew at |
