What is Disappearing Nail Disease?

Have you noticed your big toenails are discolored and no longer grow to the end of your toes? You may have disappearing nail disease otherwise known as onycholysis. Onycholysis is when a person’s nail detaches and separates from the pink nail bed and skin replaces the nail. Although not a serious health condition by itself, if left untreated the nail may become permanently short and thick.
