I recently had a new patient who has onycholysis of both hallux nails and 2 minor nails. She has hypothyroidism (she believes due to Hashimotos), and is being treated with Oroxine.
She finds the onycholysis very concerning, and has had 'all the pathology under the sun'. She is also quite stressed as her husband is seriously ill.
A quick web search showed a strong link between thyroid problems and onycholysis.
