Onychomadesis is the spontaneous separation of the nail plate from the matrix, a kind of proximal onycholysis, and is a common phenomenon due to arrest of nail formation for a certain period. Short-term slowing down of nail formation leads to Beau?s lines, while long-term stop of nail growth will cause onychomadesis and even nail shedding.
Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is a relatively common viral infection often seen as small epidemics in autumn or spring. It is characterised by oval blisters around the nails, on palms and soles with the long axis of the vesicles running along the dermatoglyphs, and by aphthoid small ulcerations of the oral mucosa. Small children are mostly infected, but probably many parents are non-symptomatic carriers as the condition usually runs a very mild course.
