Group 3:
1. A condition in which the nail loosens from the nail bed, usually beginning at the free edge and continuing to the lunula, but does not come off; it may be caused by an internal disorder, trauma, infection, or certain drug treatments.
2. The wasting away of the nail; the nail loses its shine, shrinks, and falls off. Once this happens, the condition is not reversible.
3. Another name for an ingrown nail. The nail grows into the sides of the tissue around the nail. Improper filing and poorly fitting shoes are two causes.
4. A condition in which the nail curvature is increased and enlarged. The nail becomes thicker, curves, and sometimes extends over the tip of the finger or toe. Can be painful.
5. An overgrowth or thickening of the nail. May be a natural part of aging, but may also be caused by fungus, psoriasis, or diminished circulation.
6. A condition in which all or part of the nail sheds periodically. It may occur as a result of fever, disease, or prescription drugs and may affect one or more nails.
7. An inflammation somewhere in the nail. The tissue at the base of the nail may be swollen and pus may form. May be caused by improperly disinfected nail implements.
8. Splitting nails. Splits may occur horizontally or vertically, but are usually near the free edge.
9. A medical term for nails that have been deformed by biting.
10. Split or brittle nails that also have a series of lengthwise ridges. The condition may be caused by injury, excessive use, cuticle solvents, polish removers, or rough filing. It may appear with other nail disorders or alone.
11. An infectious disease caused by a fungus. A common form is whitish patches that can be scraped off the surface of the nail.
