  • Title: Common diseases of the nail: Diagnosis and therapy.
    Author: Löser CR, Nenoff P, Mainusch O, Dippel E, Balakirski G.
    Journal: J Dtsch Dermatol Ges; 2021 Dec; 19(12):1761-1775. PubMed ID: 34862725.
    Abstract:
    This review focuses on nail changes that do not belong to the group of benign or malignant nail tumors. These common afflictions of the nail include structural changes in and under the nail plate as well as inflammation around and in the nail bed. They include onychomycoses, nail psoriasis, onychodystrophies, subungual hematoma, paronychia, ingrown nails and pincer nails. Due to the peculiar anatomy and physiological growth conditions of the nail, the pathology does not necessarily stem from the site of the clinical problem and calls for careful inspection and interpretation.
