My nails seem to be seperating from the nail be, first one and now two others are starting, what is it fungus?

One nail started to look weird on one side now the entire thing seems to be coming unattached from the skin underneath, I can slip another fingernail way under there. Now I see two other fingers on the same thing where that is starting. I looked up fungus, yeast infections and bacterial infections. What causes this, what do I do, who should I see?My nails seem to be seperating from the nail be, first one and now two others are starting, what is it fungus?
I would say it's: onycholysis it's a common nail disorder. It is the loosening or separation of a fingernail or toenail from its nail bed. It usually starts at the tip of the nail and progresses back.





Many things may cause onycholysis. Some of the most common causes are:





1.Repetitive trauma, e.g. daily tapping of long fingernails on a keyboard or counter


2.Overzealous manicure, e.g. manicure tools pushing beneath the nail to clear dirt and overuse of nail cosmetics


3.Prolonged immersion of nails in water.





Treatment of onycholysis depends on the cause of the problem. Eliminating or correcting the predisposing cause is the best treatment. For example, treatment of hyperthyroidism will allow the nails to regrow normally and nail infections can be treated with antimicrobials.





The portion of nail that has separated will not reattach to the nail bed and you will have to wait until the nail is fully regrown for the condition to be completely gone. Fingernails take 4-6 months to fully regrow whilst toenails may take twice as long.





To prevent deterioration or recurrence of onycholysis after it has cleared up:





Clip the affected portion of the nail, and keep the nails short.


Avoid injuring the affected nail, and keep the nail bed dry.


Avoid exposure to contact irritants such as nail enamel and enamel remover or solvents and detergents.


Wear light cotton gloves under vinyl gloves for wet work.





Hope this helps!
