Onychauxis

Onychauxis, also known as hypertrophy of the nails, is a condition characterized by the thickening or overgrowth of the toenails. It often results in a significant increase in the size and thickness of the nails, which may appear distorted or deformed. Onychauxis can be caused by various factors such as trauma to the nails, fungal infections, psoriasis, or certain systemic diseases. Treatment options include nail trimming, topical medications, oral antifungal drugs, or surgical intervention in severe cases.
