Pathological classification of nails refers to categorizing nail conditions or abnormalities based on their underlying causes or characteristics. Some common pathological classifications include onychomycosis (fungal infection), onycholysis (separation of the nail from the nail bed), paronychia (infection of the nail folds), Beau’s lines (horizontal depressions in the nail), koilonychia (spoon-shaped nails), and pitting (small depressions or dents in the nail surface).
