| Pterygium Inversum Unguis |
Pterygium Inversum Unguis is an acquired condition
characterized by a forward growth of
the hyponychium characterized by live tissue firmly attached to the
underside of the nail plate, which contains a blood supply and
nerves. Possible causes are systemic, hereditary, or from an
allergic reaction to acrylics or solvents. Never use force to
'push back' the advancing hyponychium -- it is an extremely painful
approach, and will result in a blood flow. Consult a physician for
diagnosis and treatment.
