lifting nail

[Rochelle]

Dear Tanya
Thanks for your interest.
The nails are not loose and they are not falling out- just lifting up from the sides if that makes sense!!
All the best

Hi Rochelle
Here are some rubrics I've found which may or may not be relevant.
EXTREMITIES, HORNY, growth under nails

" CORRUGATED nails (sorry, don't know what ocrrugated means)

" DISCOLOURATION, FINGERS, NAILS, blueness

" " " " " , menses, during

" " " " yellow (yellow and blue together makes green)

I've also seen HANG NAILS, but, again, have no idea what this can be.

[Tanya Marquette]

do you mean like a scooping, a changing the shape of the nail?
i understood you to mean they were loosening from the base.
am i wrong?

Ok Christine - thanks for trying
1.Horny = hard like a horn
2.Corrugated = wavy like as in the corrugated cardboard that you use as a packing material (I send bottles of remedies out with it around)
3.Hang nails= when you get a bit of a nail which caught in the skin at the sides
Yes I found the discolouration blue!!
All the best

They are coming away off the nail bed at the front and sticking out!! Looking down it looks as if there is skin forming on the nail bed pushing the nail out. The nail itself is not actually changing shape

Rochelle,
If psoriasis is the cause, then presumably the psoriasis is under the nail. I have one remedy citation for that: Conium (Mangialavori).
Peace,

Onycholysis
Nail lifting
the painless separation of the nail from the nail bed. This is a common problem. It can be a sign of skin disease, an infection or the result of injury, but most cases are seen in women with long fingernails. The nail acts as a lever, prying the nail away from the skin and preventing healing of otherwise insignificant insults.

A local irritation is the most common insult. This may be from excessive filing, chemical overexposure in manicures or nail tip application, allergic contact dermatitis (a local reaction similar to the reaction to "poison Ivy") to nail hardener or adhesives used to attach the nail tips, or simply to prolonged immersion in water.

One can get sunburn under the nails, which causes onycholysis. In rare cases all the nails are affected and then it can be a sign of iron deficiency or thyroid over-activity.

Dear Dale,
Thanks for that. Conium is quite an interesting Rx for my sister in law . I am hoping she will see a homeopath for a full consultation.
