What do nail shed mean?

Nail shedding, or onychoschizia, refers to the process where a nail becomes loose and eventually falls off. This can occur due to various factors, including trauma, fungal infections, or underlying health conditions. Shedding may also be a natural part of the nail growth cycle, especially if the nail is damaged or unhealthy. It is important to monitor the condition and seek medical advice if shedding occurs frequently or is accompanied by pain or discoloration.
