11. Onychorrhexis Split/ Brittle nails Injury Harsh chemicals: Thio , Alkaline Acetone/Cuticle remover Aggressive filing Hypothyroidism- hormones responsible for hair/skin/nail growth Plicatured Nails Folded nail Highly curved Can lead to Ingrown nail Hereditary Injury Highly curved matrix

12. Nail Pterygium Means wing like membrane Skin & nail adhesion Folds fuse with matrix Damage to eponychium & hyponychium Lichen Planus, Raynaud's, Trauma/burns Ridges Vertical Uneven growth of nails Lack of cell production Nutrient deficiency Buff ; ridge filler

13. Splinter Hemorrhages Physical trauma Damaged capillaries Oxidized blood Asprin AutoImmune

14. INCREASED CURVATURE NAILS Curve at free edge; the greater the curvature of the matrix, the greater the curve at the free edge Pincer. Trumpet. Onychogryposis . Onychocryptosis

15. INCREASED CURVATURE NAILS PINCER NAILS TRUMPET NAILS

16. INCREASED CURVATURE NAILS Onychogryposis “ RAMs HORN Thickening or enlargement Fungal infection One side gro ws faster Trauma Exact cause is unknown Age- lack of new cell growth

19. NAIL INFECTIONS

20. NAIL INFECTIONS FUNGI- P arasites that cause infection Grow & thrive in warm, dark, moist places Contagious- unclean implements

21. NAIL INFECTIONS Discolorations are caused by a bacterial infection; it is NOT MOLD Red, pain, pus, swelling DO NOT treat; refer to Doctor

22. NAIL INFECTIONS THE GREENIES- PSEUDOMAS AERUGINOSA Bacterial infection Bacilli Pathogen Starts as a small yellow discoloration Found mostly in water Antibiotics Artificial nail- Moisture trapped; un adhered nail Water evaporates; leaves minerals ( ART. nail ) Unclean implements
