Onycholysis is a common medical condition characterized by the painless detachment of the nail from the nail bed, usually starting at the tip and/or sides.
一名43歲男子,原本身體健康,但因指甲真菌感染一年,被送往皮膚科。即使服用抗真菌藥物(terbinafine 250 mg)後,病情仍未改善。檢查時,醫生發現他七根手指的指甲有小洞與脫落情形。左耳亦出現紅色鱗屑樣斑塊,頭皮有頭皮屑,且稍感癢感。未發現其他皮膚問題。 A 43-year-old man, previously in good health, was sent to the dermatology department because his fingernails had been infected with a fungus for a year. Even after taking antifungal pills (terbinafine 250 mg), his condition didn't improve. During the check-up, the doctors found small holes and separation of the nails in seven of his fingers. He also had some red, scaly patches in his left ear and a bit of dandruff on his scalp, which made his head itch slightly. There weren't any other skin issues noticed.
甲剝離症 (onycholysis) 可能出現在多種情況,包括牛皮癬。於甲狀腺毒症患者中,常被認為與交感神經過度活躍有關。它亦可能因感染或外傷而發生。
○ 治療
有病例報告指出,持續每日飲用胡蘿蔔汁或可改善甲剝離症。
