Nail bed shortening is usually caused by fungal infections, lichen planus, and nail dystrophy, which need to be treated as soon as they are detected.
1. If fungal infection occurs in the nails, it may cause the nail plate and nail bed to be violated, which may lead to cloudy nail plate, discoloration of the nail plate, shortening of the nail bed and pain.
2. The immune system of lichen planus patients is low, which may involve the nail plate and nail bed with the progress of the disease, resulting in thinning of the nail, shortening of the nail bed and other symptoms, as well as itching and other uncomfortable symptoms.
3. If the long-term nutritional intake is insufficient, it may lead to nail malnutrition causing abnormal growth of the nail bed, resulting in the phenomenon of thickening or thinning of the nails, and in severe cases, the nail bed may become shorter due to nail peeling.
In severe cases, it is recommended to consult a doctor to identify the cause of the disease and carry out targeted treatment.
