Hồng móng

What is Erythronychia and what causes it?

Hồng móng is something we see more often in the nail salon or bác sĩ chân practice but don’t recognize – it is a general name for a group of nail problems that begin at the distal ma trận của đơn vị đóng đinh. 

Erythronychia is a term that covers a range of pathological patterns of red discoloration of the subungual tissues. The intensity of the red contrasts with the pale pink of the giường móng tay, or the cream color of the lưỡi liềm. It is typically due to one or more factors that include viêm nhiễm, vessel proliferation, engorgement, and focal thinning of the tấm móng tay.

The pathological basis or the reason for it happening could be one of many things, and it is up to a medical specialist to make the call. 

We can divide the reasons into 3 groups

• Dermal tumor (adjective-relating to the skin or lớp hạ bì) pressure
  • Glumos Tumor (slow growing tumor, generally found in the nail bed but can be on the fingertip or somewhere in the toenail unit) 
  • Vascular Tumor (fast growing tumor formed from blood vessels or lymph vessels)
• Ma trận 
  • Biểu bì disease 
    • Darlier Disease (a kind of keratosis)
    • Dysplasia (abnormal cell growth) 
    • Lichenoid Disease (Lichen phẳng) 
    • Possible viral infection (or wart)
• Nail plate with ventral groove
  • Nail bed swells into the nail plate grove with capillary engagement and hemorrhage
  • Thinned nail plate that disintegrates distally 
  • Exposed Distal nail bed 
  • Generating Multi nucleate giant cells (mutation, thickening) and protruding keratosis
