For treatment, it is necessary to completely avoid further trauma and chemical irritants, and the nail bed should be kept dry. The affected nail area should be cut off, and expos­ing and drying the nail bed is very helpful in removing

Pseudomonas and reducing Candida. If it occurs second­arily, improvement is seen when the underlying disease is treated, but it often occurs idiopathically, and topical appli­cation of steroids and retinoids is known as a treatment method, but there are many cases that do not respond well, making it one of the difcult diseases to cure. For the treat­ment of onychodystrophy including onycholysis, triamcino­lone intralesional injection, steroid ointment or calcipotriol ointment, retinoid ointment or tacrolimus cream topical application, oral administration of retinoids or cyclosporine or steroids, and photodynamic therapy have been used. Topical steroids have the advantage of being painless during treatment and not having to visit the hospital frequently, and relatively good effects, but they have the disadvantage that they can cause skin atrophy, dilated blood vessels, and rarely, weakening of bones in the absorbed area due to high potency and long-term use. Calcipotriol ointment has almost no side effects, but its effect is low when used alone, so it is almost always used with steroid ointment.

Triamcinolone intralesional injection has the advantage of being easy to treat once every 2–6weeks depending on the literature and having a good treatment effect. Unlike steroid ointments, side effects such as skin atrophy and vasodilation are rare, but side effects such as pain, hematoma, and infec­tion have been reported during injection, so caution is required. In Korea, for 69 nails with onycholysis (62 nger­nails, 7 toenails), the rst 2 times were at intervals of 2weeks at a concentration of 2.5 mg/mL, and then once every

4 weeks at a concentration of 5.0 mg/mL for a total of 7 times up to 20weeks. Triamcinolone suspension was injected close to the nail with a dermojet at both ends of the proximal nail fold, and the nails that showed very excellent treatment effects were reported to be 37.6% in doctor’s evaluation (patient evaluation 37.6%), excellent treatment effects were
46.4% in doctor’s evaluation (patient evaluation 42.0%), ordinary treatment effects were 14.5% in doctor’s evaluation (patient evaluation 1.4%), and poor treatment effects were
1.4% in doctor’s evaluation (patient evaluation 18.8%). Most patients reported pain immediately after treatment. Although appeals were made, no patient experienced pain for more than a day, and there were no signs of hematoma or infection. There were also no signs of atrophy or hypochromia. Recently, there have been reports of studies treating onycho­mycosis and onychodystrophy with a 1064nm long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser. The application of this laser has been reported in Korea as a safe and effective treatment for onycholysis. It is thought that this laser stimulates the nail bed and nail matrix, promoting the growth of normal tissue, normalizing the nail bed, and growing the ventral nail plate into a hard keratin with adhesive force, showing a healing effect. During laser irradiation, patients reported feeling a slight heat sensa­tion, but no other side effects were reported. I rst prescribed an ointment that is evaluated to be effective for M, advised not to stimulate the nails, and decided to observe regularly in the future.

Longitudinal Ridges

I don’t think it’s happened before, but I have a lot of ver­tical, parallel lines on my thumbnail. What kind of dis­ease is this? Is it because I have a bad stomach or something? (Fig.50.1).
Mr. J, a 55-year-old man, came into the clinic and imme­diately showed his thumbnail, saying, “One day, I looked at the surface of my nail and there were many long lines paral­lel from the root to the end of the nail. What kind of disease is this? Is it because my internal organs are bad?”
Longitudinal ridging refers to one or several vertically extending straight ridges connected from the proximal end of the nail plate to the distal end that occur in parallel at regular intervals on the surface of the nail plate. The ridges may be interrupted regularly, showing a bead or sausage shape. Multiple thin ridges can occur, and as a kind of physiological phenomenon, they become more pronounced with age, so
they are mainly found in the elderly, but sometimes they can appear in young people and rarely in children. As age increases, the number of ridges tends to increase, and their outlines tend to become clearer. It mainly occurs on the thumbnail but can also be seen in other nails. Sometimes a wide, longitudinal median ridge has the appearance in cross section of a circumex accent, which usually appears after trauma but can also be inherited. Longitudinal ridges may occur after damage to the proximal part of the nail, due to genetic diseases such as Darier’s disease, or when there is a tumor such as a glomus tumor on the nail bed (Figs.50.2,
50.3, 50.4, 50.5, 50.6, 50.7, 50.8, 50.9, 50.10 and 50.11).
So far, no effective treatment for Longitudinal ridges has
been reported, and it is only a cosmetic issue. I told Mr. J not to worry as it was not a pathological phenomenon, and when I showed him that the same thing happened to my nger­nails, he felt reassured and left the examination room.

Dystrophy

I don’t know when, but all 20 of my nails have become thick and ugly. Why is this happening? (Figs. 51.1 and
51.2).
A woman in her 40s, P, came for a checkup because she
wanted to know the name of the disease that was causing her nails to become strangely thick and deformed. “Why are my nails changing like this? Is there something wrong with my body?” she asked.
Nail disorders account for about 10% of all skin diseases
and can cause pain, functional problems, and cosmetic issues. These nail disorders can show various clinical nd­ings in one disease, and conversely, the same nail changes can occur due to different diseases, making diagnosis and classication difcult. They can be classied according to the cause, such as genetics, secondary changes due to sys­temic diseases, infectious diseases, nail deformities due to other skin diseases, trauma, etc., and according to the shape of the nail lesion itself. Among nail diseases, onychodystro­phy is a general term for morphological changes in the nail and refers to nail diseases excluding trauma, tumor, and ony­chomycosis. Known causes of nail dystrophy include psoria­sis, lichen planus, alopecia areata, lichen striatus, and hand eczema, but it is most often idiopathic, occurring without a
specic cause. Depending on the morphological deformation of the nail, onychodystrophy can include Beau’s line, tra­chyonychia, pitting nail, longitudinal ridge, median nail dys­trophy, leukonychia, spoon nail, onychomadesis, onycholysis, subungual hyperkeratosis, and washboard nail. These nail changes can be divided according to the affected area and range, time, and intensity. For example, trachyonychia appears after long-term moderate damage over a wide range of the nail matrix, while pitting nails can be observed when moderate damage to the nail matrix occurs over a short period. Other conditions such as longitudinal ridge, median nail dystrophy, leukonychia, and washboard nail also appear due to damage to the nail matrix. In particular, trachyonychia is a nail change where the surface of the nail plate becomes rough and many thin longitudinal ridges appear due to long­term damage to the nail matrix, and when all 20 nails are affected, it is called twenty-nail dystrophy. Twenty-nail dys­trophy is a relatively rare nail disorder characterized by loss of luster, discoloration, easy breakage of all nails, and the appearance of longitudinal ridges. Since Hazelrigg etal. rst described twenty-nail dystrophy in children in 1977, Samman divided it into cases accompanying skin diseases such as alopecia areata, psoriasis, and lichen planus and

cases occurring idiopathically. Among these, idiopathic cases were further classied into twenty-nail dystrophy in children and severe onychodystrophy that mainly occurs in adults. Additionally, Commens broadly classied it into con­genital and acquired. Congenital factors included familial and sporadic twenty-nail dystrophy, nail-patella syndrome, pachyonychia congenita, and hidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, and acquired cases were almost similar to the skin diseases suggested by Samman. Twenty-nail dystrophy appears clini­cally in ve types: pitting type, sandpaper (shallow ssure) type, ssure (deep ssure) type, hypertrophic type, and atro­phic type. Hypertrophic type and atrophic type usually appear in combination with the basic three types, so they are sometimes classied into only three types. Histopathological examination of the nail matrix most often shows spongiform inammation, and other ndings similar to psoriasis or lichen planus may be seen. Onychodystrophy is clinically simple, so the same or similar changes can be caused by vari­ous causes, and various lesions can appear due to one cause, making diagnosis difcult. If it is difcult to diagnose by visual inspection, cutting the nails and conrming the histo­pathologic ndings can help in diagnosis, and onychomyco­sis or tumors can be ruled out (Figs.51.3, 51.4, 51.5, 51.6,
51.751.9).
Onychodystrophy are being attempted with various treat-
ment methods such as topical steroids, tretinoin, calcipotriol and tacrolimus application, steroid intralesional injection, cyclosporine or steroid oral administration, surgery, cryo­therapy, PUVA, long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser treatment, etc. However, despite various treatment methods, the nails them-
selves grow slowly at 3mm per month for ngernails and 1 mm or less for toenails, and unlike general tissues, the absorption and delivery of drugs are slow, so many nail dis­eases collectively referred to as onychodystrophy have a slow treatment response and a long treatment period, making it difcult to judge the treatment effect. Also, despite various treatment methods, the side effects are large compared to the treatment effect, so currently only steroids or calcipotriol, tacrolimus topical application, triamcinolone intralesional injection, etc. are mainly used. Steroid ointment application is effective but can cause side effects such as skin atrophy and nail loss if used for a long time, and calcipotriol is safe but has a small treatment effect, so it has the disadvantage of having to be used in combination with other treatments. In Korea, there have been reports of improvement in washboard nails with tacrolimus topical application, and although the mechanism of action is not clear, it is thought to be related to the anti-inammatory effect as the inammatory process is an important factor in causing onychodystrophy. Triamcinolone intralesional injection is known to be rela­tively safe with less systemic side effects compared to other treatments and has a good effect. Also, the laser action mech­anism of 1064nm long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser on onychodys­trophy is thought to stimulate the nail matrix and nail bed by thermal energy, promoting the growth of normal nail plates. I explained to Ms. P the treatment process and treatment method for onychodystrophy and told her that this treatment takes time and requires persistence, so let’s work together to achieve good results.

Onychoschizia

Why are my nails splitting into multiple layers recently? Is it because of a lack of nutrition? (Fig.52.1).
L, a woman in her 50s, used to put her hands in water a
lot but was surprised to discover that her ngernails had recently split into several layers and came to see a doctor. “I’ve never had this happen to my nails before, and I eat well, so why is this happening?” she wondered (Fig.52.2).
Onychoschizia, also known as nail splitting or lamellar
dystrophy, refers to the condition where the nail plate splits into one or multiple thin layers parallel to the surface of the nail from the free edge. The nail plate is a fully keratinized structure made up of about 25 dense layers of keratinocytes, and onychoschizia occurs due to damage to intercellular adhesive factors of the nail plate caused by various factors. The most common factors that inhibit the adhesion between the keratinocytes of the nail plate are frequent wetting and drying of the nails, which is why it often occurs in house­wives, cooks, beauticians, doctors, nurses, etc. Also, mani­cures, hardeners, polishes, removers, and other nail cosmetics, nail procedures, and occupational exposure to
acids, alkalis, solvents, cement, etc. can be causes. Trauma and habits such as nail biting and repetitive typing can also be causes. It can also be observed in endocrine diseases, tuberculosis, Sjogren’s syndrome, kidney diseases, nutri­tional deciencies (vitamins, iron, zinc), etc. and can appear in cancer treatments, vitamin A derivatives (acitretin, etreti­nate) intake, psoriasis, lichen planus, fungal infections, etc. It usually doesn’t hurt, but it can cause cosmetic or func­tional problems and is reported to be associated with depres­sion. In most cases, it appears from the distal part, but in the case of psoriasis or lichen planus patients taking retinoids, it can occur from the proximal part. It can occur in conjunction with onychorrhexis or onycholysis, which can be caused by the same causes (Figs. 52.352.5, 52.6, 52.7, 52.8, 52.9,
52.10, 52.11, 52.12, 52.13 and 52.14).
We need to nd a way to strengthen the binding of the
keratinocytes of the nails for treatment. The number of times the nails “get wet and dry (moisture and dryness)” should be reduced. Avoid direct contact with water and wear rubber or vinyl gloves over cotton gloves. Keep the nails neatly
