ABOUT THIS CASE…👨🏾‍⚕️🦶🏽

Rams horn toenails, or onychogryphosis, is a condition where the toenails become thickened and curved, resembling a ram's horn. This can occur due to various factors, including:

1. Neglect: Lack of proper nail care over a long period.
2. Trauma: Repeated injury to the nail bed.
3. Age: Older adults are more prone due to slower nail growth and reduced nail care.
4. Poor Circulation: Conditions like diabetes or peripheral artery disease can affect nail health.
5. Genetics: Some people are more predisposed to developing this condition.

Treatment usually involves:

1. Regular Trimming: Using specialized tools to manage nail growth.
2. Professional Care: Visiting a podiatrist for debridement or other treatments.
3. Proper Footwear: Ensuring shoes fit well and don't cause pressure on the toes.
4. Addressing Underlying Conditions: Managing health issues that contribute to poor circulation or nail health.

If you or someone else is dealing with this, consulting a healthcare professional is advisable for appropriate care and treatment.
