periunguaaliset
Periunguaaliset refers to the area surrounding a fingernail or toenail. This anatomical region includes the skin and soft tissues that lie adjacent to the nail plate. The periungual area is crucial for nail health and growth. It comprises several distinct parts, including the proximal nail fold, the nail bed, and the lateral nail folds.
