Supraungual plate

The supracungual plate is a thin transparent membrane that covers the fingernail and protects it from damage and infection. It is made up of keratin, a protein also found in skin and hair.

The supracungual plate is about 0.1 mm thick and may be transparent or slightly pigmented. It is located under the nail and attached to its base. Normally, the supracungual plate is not visible, since it is hidden under the nail.

The functions of the supracungual plate include protecting the nail matrix and protecting the nail from damage. She is also involved in the formation of the nail, helping it grow and develop.

If the supra-nail plate is damaged or missing, it can lead to various nail problems such as onycholysis (separation of the nail from the nail bed), onychomycosis (fungal infection of the nails) and other nail diseases.

To maintain the health of the supra-nail plate, it is recommended to monitor its condition, trim your nails regularly and avoid injuries and damage to the nail. You should also avoid using harsh chemicals that can damage your skin and nails.
