Antimonium crudum 30  is effective for Onycholysis due to fungus infection of nails, especially toenails.

When the cause is a crush injury, underlying fracture and nail bed or matrix damage may occur. Other symptoms: Bruised pain under the nails. Black and blue color of the nail.

Painful corns are seen. With age, vertical nail ridges may become more numerous or prominent because of changes in cell turnover within the nail

Finger swelling may occur due to injury, infection, arthritis, and other underlying conditions. This swelling can give the fingers a bloated, sausage-like appearance
