Nail erosion is a condition characterized by the thinning or wearing away of the nail plate, primarily seen in the toes. It refers to the gradual loss of the protective layer of the nail, resulting in a weakened and potentially damaged nail structure. Nail erosion can be caused by various factors, such as trauma, repetitive pressure or friction, fungal infections, psoriasis, or other systemic conditions. It is important to seek medical advice if you notice any signs of nail erosion or changes in the appearance or texture of your nails.
