👉 Onychomalacia is a disorder of the nails, characterized by the abnormal growth and thickening of the nail plate. It can be caused by various factors such as trauma, infections, autoimmune disorders, or certain medications. The nails may appear to be thicker than normal, with the texture being rougher and more warty. If left untreated, onychomalacia can lead to complications such as infection, deformities, and even nail fractures.
