Brief Summary

Onychopathies constitute one of the major challenges faced by a dermatologist in terms of its early detection and diagnosis . Many disorders can affect the nails, including deformity and dystrophy, infections, and ingrown toenails. Infections can involve any part of the nail and may or may not change the nail's appearance. Most nail infections are fungal (onychomycosis), but bacterial and viral infections occur .

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Percentage of subclinical nail involvement in relevant skin diseases

    almost 6 months after start of the research

Interventions

It is a non invasive tool that permits the visualization of morphological features that are not visible to the naked eye thus representing a link between macroscopic dermatopathology .
