What is Onychocryptosis commonly known as?

Ingrown nails
Nail fungus
Nail discolouration
Nail separation

The correct answer is: Ingrown nails

Onychocryptosis is more commonly known as ingrown nails. This condition occurs when the edge of a nail grows into the skin surrounding the nail. Option B, nail fungus, is incorrect because it refers to a different condition where the nail becomes infected with a fungus causing thick, discoloured, and brittle nails. Option C, nail discoloration, is incorrect because it does not accurately describe the condition. While discoloration may be a symptom of ingrown nails, it is not the main characteristic. Option D, nail separation, is incorrect because it refers to another condition called onycholysis, where the nail separates from the nail bed. This is different from ingrown nails.
