Overview

Onychomadesis is a periodic idiopathic shedding of the nails beginning at its proximal end, possibly caused by the temporary arrest of the function of the nail matrix.^[1] ^[2]

Causes

Common Causes

One cause in children is hand foot and mouth disease.^[3] This generally resolves without complication. It can also be caused by localized infection, minor injury to the matrix bed, or severe systemic illness. It is sometimes a side effect of chemotherapy or x-ray treatments for cancer. A new nail plate will form once the cause of the disease is removed.
