A small piece of empty finger nail is usually related to nail trauma, malnutrition, onychomycosis and other factors, which can be treated with general treatment, medication or surgery in combination with the cause of the disease.
1. Nail trauma: When the nail is traumatized, it may lead to the formation of a hollow or missing piece of nail. It is necessary to bandage the nail as soon as possible to prevent the degree of trauma from worsening. During this period, the wound should be protected to prevent secondary infection.
2. Malnutrition: If there is a habit of picky eating, partiality or anorexia, it may affect the normal development of nails, which may lead to the formation of nail holes. It is necessary to pass the micronutrient screening, and once the lack of species is found, it needs to be supplemented in time.
3. Ringworm of the nails: it is caused by fungal infection, repeated stimulation of the nails will lead to the separation of the nail plate and the nail bed, and the nails will lack a piece. For treatment, oral antifungal drugs, such as itraconazole and terbinafine, should be taken in time, and topical amorolfine application can be used. The bad nail needs to be removed if necessary.
If a piece of finger is missing, it is recommended to observe it first, if it affects the aesthetics or the surrounding tissues, it should be treated in time, and reasonable medication should be used under the guidance of physician.
