    Author: Dahdah MJ, Scher RK.
    Journal: Dermatol Clin; 2006 Apr; 24(2):233-9, vii. PubMed ID: 16677969.
    Abstract:
    The use of nail care products and procedures to beautify and groom the nails is extremely common. Unfortunately, when improperly used, nail cosmetics can lead to nail diseases, such as paronychia, onycholysis, and brittle nails. Understanding the pathophysiology behind these conditions is an essential step toward better treatment and future prevention allowing patients to enjoy nail adornments while maintaining healthy nails.
