What does Onychomadesis refer to?

  1. Quick nail growth

  2. Nail biting

  3. Separation and falling off of a nail from the bed

  4. White spots on nails

The correct answer is: Separation and falling off of a nail from the bed

Onychomadesis refers to the separation and falling off of a nail from the nail bed. This condition occurs when there is damage to the nail matrix, which is responsible for nail growth. Option A, quick nail growth, is incorrect because Onychomadesis actually halts nail growth due to the damage. Option B, nail biting, is incorrect because this refers to a habit of biting one's own nails, not a medical condition. Option D, white spots on nails, is incorrect because this refers to a separate condition known as leukonychia.
