What is indicated by onycholysis?

Warts on the nail
Lifting of the nail without shedding
Brittle nails
A contagious nail fungus

The correct answer is: Lifting of the nail without shedding

Onycholysis is a condition in which the nail separates from the nail bed, causing the nail to lift without shedding. This can be caused by various factors such as trauma, infection, or certain medical conditions. It is not indicative of warts on the nail, brittle nails, or a contagious nail fungus. While these may also affect the appearance of the nails, they are not specifically related to onycholysis and may have different underlying causes.
