Onychosis refers to a range of nail diseases and disorders that affect the structure, appearance, and health of the nails. These conditions can manifest as changes in nail color, shape, thickness, or texture and may result from various causes, including fungal infections, trauma, psoriasis, or systemic health issues. Common nail disorders associated with onychosis include fungal infections (onychomycosis), ingrown toenails, and nail psoriasis. Symptoms may include discoloration, thickening, splitting, or crumbling of the nails. Treatment for onychosis depends on the specific condition and its underlying cause. Antifungal medications are often prescribed for fungal infections, while topical treatments or systemic medications may be used for psoriasis. Proper nail care and hygiene, including avoiding trauma and maintaining clean, dry nails, are crucial in managing and preventing nail diseases. In severe cases, surgical intervention or specialized treatments may be required to address significant nail damage or persistent infections.
