Eponychium is the layer of skin that overlaps the base of the nail, often referred to as the cuticle. It serves as a protective barrier that prevents pathogens from entering the nail matrix, which is the area where new nail cells are produced. Proper care of the eponychium is important for maintaining healthy nails and preventing infections.
