ONYCHIA
an inflammation of the matrix (surrounding tissue) of the nail with formation of pus and shedding of the nail. Onychia results from the introduction of microscopic pathogens through small wounds.

Onychocryptosis
commonly known as "ingrown nails" (unguis incarnatus), can affect either the fingers or the toes.
![Page 5: The most commonly reported nail conditions, seen by podiatrists, are: Onychocryptosis, 26%](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012402/5681325b550346895d98ebec/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Onychogryposis
also called "ram's-horn nail", is a thickening and increase in curvature of the nail. It is usually the result of injury to the matrix.

Yellowish brown discolouration and crumbling of the nail plate which starts at the free edge and spreads proximally.
![Page 9: The most commonly reported nail conditions, seen by podiatrists, are: Onychocryptosis, 26%](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012402/5681325b550346895d98ebec/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

a loosening of the exposed portion of the nail from the nail bed, usually beginning at the free edge and continuing to the lunula.
![Page 10: The most commonly reported nail conditions, seen by podiatrists, are: Onychocryptosis, 26%](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012402/5681325b550346895d98ebec/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

separation and falling off of a nail from the nail bed.
![Page 11: The most commonly reported nail conditions, seen by podiatrists, are: Onychocryptosis, 26%](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012402/5681325b550346895d98ebec/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Plicatured Nail
A transverse curvature of the nail plate, which may appear natural but can become acutely, curved into the sulci. Comes in three types: tile shaped describes an oblong nail flanged with symmetrical curvature into the sulci. Plicatured nails remain flat in the central part with either one side (uni) or bilateral (both sides) curvature to the sulci. Omega nails present extreme curvature of the nail plate.

Leukonychia Striata
Leukonychia describes localised hyperkeratosis, which causes the middle nail plate to separate from the ventral nail plate or the nail plates complete from the nail bed. This gives the appearance of white spots within the nail plate.
![Page 13: The most commonly reported nail conditions, seen by podiatrists, are: Onychocryptosis, 26%](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012402/5681325b550346895d98ebec/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Onychauxis

Onychomycosis
also known as tinea unguium, is a contagious infection of the nail caused by the same fungal organisms which cause ringworm of the skin.
