A member asked:
My nail beds seem to have shrunk. could this be a sign of onycholysis? i am a pretty healthy person so i don't see why this would be the case.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Onycholysis it isn't: Onycholysis isn't lifting of the nail plate. U need to see a podiatrist so they can test the nail and look into your family history
