TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - N A1 - Murtagh, John A1 - Murtagh, Clare Y1 - 2022 N1 - T2 - John Murtagh’s General Practice Companion Handbook, 8th Edition AB - The main nail problems encountered in general practice are trauma, onychomycosis, infection, ingrowing toenails, paronychia and psoriasis. Damage to the nail from trauma or disease results in nail dystrophy. The problem of nail changes due to onychotillomania, be it from excessive nail biting, picking or cleaning, should be suspected from the history and examination. Enquire whether the hands are frequently used in wet work or dirt. Look for associated skin disease (e.g. psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, lichen planus).
