Ann Dermatol Venereol. 2023 Oct 7:S0151-9638(23)00057-1. doi: 10.1016/j.annder.2023.05.005. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSelf-induced nail disorders are a broad group of different clinical manifestations that share the common trait of being caused more or less voluntarily by the patient. These are distinct conditions within the clinical spectrum of onychotillomania. Most patients diagnosed with these disorders have psychiatric co-morbidities, and a multidisciplinary approach is thus highly recommended. The purpose of this review is to describe the most common clinical features encountered during daily nail consultations and to provide useful diagnostic tools and therapeutic tips for the best approach to these conditions.PMID:37813711 | DOI:10.1016/j.annder.2023.05.005
