Toenail lifting, also known as onycholysis, is a condition where the toenail separates or lifts away from the nail bed. It typically starts at the tip of the nail and progresses towards the cuticle. This condition can cause cosmetic concerns and may lead to pain and discomfort. Common causes of toenail lifting include trauma or injury to the toenail, fungal infections, psoriasis, thyroid disorders, and certain medications. Proper diagnosis and treatment from a healthcare professional is important to address the underlying cause and prevent further complications.
