title: Nail cosmetics.
abstract: Disorders of the nails may be brought about by systemic disease or outside influences. Although many of the products available on the market may be of great benefit in offering palliation of abnormalities of the nail plate, they may also be a source of significant adverse effects. Treatment of nail disorders must be predicated on a well-focused history, physical examination, and proper tissue samples.
