The hyponychium is the area of skin located beneath the free edge of the nail, where the nail plate meets the fingertip. It serves as a protective barrier against pathogens and helps to anchor the nail in place. This tissue is sensitive and can be prone to infections if injured or compromised. Proper care of the hyponychium is important for maintaining nail health.
