L60.3: Nail dystrophy

One or more of your nails have not grown properly.

Nails in your hands or feet are affected.

When a nail gets damaged, it sometimes stops growing properly. The nail concerned then often has an irregular surface. This includes grooves in the nail, or pieces splintering from the nail, for example. This change to the nail is due to injuries, for example, or to other disorders. Frequent washing or application of nail polish remover can also cause the nail to stop growing properly.

On medical documents, the ICD code is often appended by letters that indicate the diagnostic certainty or the affected side of the body.

  • G: Confirmed diagnosis
  • V: Tentative diagnosis
  • Z: Condition after
  • A: Excluded diagnosis
  • L: Left
  • R: Right
  • B: Both sides
