Clueless nail geek

[haanxx]

Ok so in middle of my training but struggling finding somethings in the work pack.

The appearance and cause of a couple of nail disease I cant find anywhere are:

Onychophosis (horny growth)
Onychauxis (hypertrophy)



Any help would be appreciated as its one of the last things i need to find.

Onychophosis is a localized or diffuse hyperkeratotic tissue that develops on the lateral or proximal nailfolds, within the space between the nailfolds and the nail plate, and is a common finding in the elderly.[1]:784 Onychophosis may involve the subungual area, as a direct result of repeated minor trauma, and most frequently affects the first and fifth toes.[1]:784

 

[becca boo]

Onychauxis presents with thickened nails without deformity, and this simple thickening may be the result of trauma, acromegaly, Darier's disease, psoriasis, or pityriasis rubra pilaris, or, in some cases, hereditary.[1]:783[2]
