Two patients, whom we had under surveillance since 1969, were found to develop photo-onycholysis from orally administered 8-methoxypsoralen and sunlight irradiation. Morphological examination of the nail bed revealed characteristics of a microtrauma. The photosensitizing effect of the drug induced the generation of numerous binucleate, tetranucleate and multinucleate epithelial cells as well as numerous binucleate and tetranucleate fibroblasts in the dermis.

“…Topical antibiotics such as sodium sulfacetamide can be helpful in the presence of co-occurring infection by C. albicans living in the nail (Stone, 2000) as well as Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Schneiderman & Iloeje, 1995). In our clinic, we use sodium sulfacetamide compounded in ethanol, which may be helpful to displace water and prevent moisture retention (Ray, 1963). Oral antifungal agents have been used, although they have been shown to be less effective than topical corticosteroids (Tosti et al, 2002).…”

This is a case study of a 55-year-old woman presenting with dystrophic nails that arose during her teenage years and has worsened over the last few years. The patient reported frequent wet work, exposure to irritants, and cuticle manipulation. The physical examination showed proximal nail fold bolstering, loss of cuticle, and a wavy dorsal nail plate resembling a “washboard.” She was diagnosed with chronic paronychia and onychotillomania. She was prescribed clobetasol ointment and sulfacetamide in ethanol and was counseled on hygiene and at-home care. One month after the regimen was started, there was noticeable reduction of inflammation to the cuticle.

“…Just as an example, onycholysis is one of the most frequent presentations of onychomycosis, which is possibly the most common reason for consultation in nail clinics 2,3 . Onycholysis is defined as the detachment of the nail plate from the underlying and/or lateral supporting structures, and may affect fingernails or toenails 4 . Onycholysis usually begins in the onychodermal band, a pink‐white, distal, transversal band visible in most nail units, which acts as a protective barrier for the nail 5 .…”

Onycholysis is defined as the detachment of the nail plate from the underlying and/or lateral supporting structures. Trauma, inflammatory conditions, infectious agents, tumours and toxic substances are the most commonly reported causes of onycholysis. We review the main causes of onycholysis in clinical practice and provide a diagnostic approach based on morphologic patterns of the proximal border of onycholysis, as defined by clinical and dermoscopic examination. Four morphologic patterns of onycholysis, namely transversal, lateral, V-shaped and circular are presented with their most common causes and triggers.
