Onycholysis—lifting of nail from bed—can follow chemicals, medications, or point to thyroid issues. It usually begins at the free edge, forming a whitish air gap. Other triggers include psoriasis, fungus, trauma, and tetracycline use. Repeated soaking and frequent manicures aggravate it. Care involves keeping nails dry, trimming back, avoiding further irritation, and letting healthy growth replace the lifted portion. Address systemic causes to prevent recurrence.
