after the nail detaches edit

Please add info about what happens after the nail detaches from the bed. What are treatment/care options? What are prospects for regrowing a healthy, attached nail? -71.174.183.177 (talk) 18:50, 9 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

Most common cause? edit

I really don't think that psoriasis is the most common cause. This was added years ago here (diff) with no citation. I removed this statement. I think it's downright misleading.

One article I pulled mentions trauma, immersion, psoriasis, porphyria, pemphigus, fungi, bacteria, viruses, lichen planus, alopecia, and drugs. Then it goes on to list a bunch of other systemic diseases: "systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), iron deficiency anemia, diabetes mellitus, hyperhidrosis, hyper- or hypo-thyroidism, impaired peripheral arterial circulation, erythropoietic porphyria, sarcoidosis, pellagra, leprosy, Reiter’s syndrome, scleroderma, and yellow nail syndrome". Plus "congenital causes such as hereditary partial onycholysis," etc., etc.

Nowhere does this paper say what's the most common cause (neither does an online medical reference I have access too). I would suspect the most common cause is actually trauma but can't back that up.
