Separation of the nail from the nail bed, medically known as onycholysis, is a common condition that results in a white appearance of the affected part of the nail. Fingernail or toenail separation can have numerous causes but is typically related to trauma or a fungal infection of the nails.
Disruptions in the deeper layers of the nail bed cause problems such as fingernail ridges. Disruption of the superficial layer creates surface problems such as pitting. Nails grow around 1 milllimeter every six to 10 days, so ridges can indicate when a deficiency began.isruptions in the deeper layers of the nail bed cause problems such as fingernail ridges.
