Onychoschizia refers to a condition characterized by the splitting or layering of the nails, particularly the fingernails or toenails. It is commonly known as brittle nails. The condition typically leads to weak and easily breakable nails, which may cause discomfort and make it difficult to grow and maintain healthy nails. Onychoschizia can be caused by a variety of factors, including excessive exposure to water, repetitive trauma to the nails, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, aging, and certain medical conditions.
