Cosmetic treatment of nails.
Nail cosmetics are an important part of personal expression. Although their use can result in a variety of dermatologic issues, the popularity of nail cosmetics is huge. Dermatologists must recognize problems associated with nail cosmetics and understand the process for using these cosmetics. Many problems can be avoided through careful use or a change in the application procedure.
