Onychauxis presents with thickened nails without deformity, and this simple thickening may be the result of trauma, acromegaly, Darier's disease, psoriasis, or pityriasis rubra pilaris, or, in some cases, hereditary.
It may appear as loss of nail palate translucency, discoloration, and subungual hyperkeratosis. Complications include pain, distal onycholysis, subungual bleeding, subungual ulceration, and onychomycosis.
