NAIL DYSTROPHY

Nail dystrophy refers to poor nail formation, usually as the result of trauma or infection. When caused by trauma, the nail becomes discolored due to blood pooling underneath the nail. Over time, the nail breaks away from the nail bed until it detaches completely. A new nail will grow in its place, but it may not grow back properly if the nail bed is damaged in the process...
