Accessory Structures of the Skin: Nails

2.3K
Nails are one of the important accessory structures of the skin. They are hard, protective structures that cover the dorsal surface of the distal phalanges of fingers and toes. Nails are composed of specialized keratinized cells and serve various functions, including protection, sensation, and manual dexterity.

Handwashing II: Pre-procedure and Initial Procedure Steps

1.2K
The pre-procedure steps of handwashing include removing jewelry and rolling up sleeves. However, many organizations allow staff to wear wedding rings.
The hand washing procedure itself includes the following steps. First, cover cuts, if any, on hands with a waterproof dressing. Cuts and abrasions can become contaminated with bacteria hindering the ability to clean the area thoroughly. In addition, repeated hand washing can worsen an injury.  The nails must be short and clean, without nail...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Dermatology
  • Nail Disorders

Background:

  • Nail abnormalities are common in pediatric patients.
  • Onychomadesis, the shedding of nails, can be caused by various factors.
  • Early diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a case of onychomadesis in an infant.
  • To describe the clinical presentation of proximal nail peeling.
  • To emphasize the importance of recognizing this condition in toddlers.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical observation of an 18-month-old male patient.
  • Examination of fingernail abnormalities, specifically proximal peeling.
  • Diagnostic assessment based on visual presentation.

Main Results:

  • The patient presented with nine fingernails peeling from the proximal side.
  • Normal nail growth was observed underneath the separated nail plates.
  • The diagnosis of onychomadesis was established.

Conclusions:

  • Onychomadesis can manifest in young children with characteristic proximal nail separation.
  • Prompt identification of onychomadesis aids in distinguishing it from other nail conditions.
  • This case underscores the need for awareness of pediatric nail disorders among general practitioners.
