The purpose of this book is to guide the dermatologist and the general physician in the differential diagnosis and treatment of melanonychias. Melanonychia is a longitudinal pigmentation of the nail and it is considering a common presenting problem in general dermatology. The differential diagnosis varies from subungual hematoma to a fungal infection to a melanocytic lesion (hypermelanosis, lentigo, nevus, and melanoma) among others. Melanonychia may also indicate an early stage of nail melanoma, and its diagnosis remains a challenge among dermatologist. A recent publication on Dermatologists accuracy in early diagnosis of melanoma of the nail matrix showed that in situ melanoma of the nail matrix is very difficult for dermatologists to diagnose, regardless of the level of their experience. On Melanonychias the reader will find a complete discussion about all the most important topics on this condition, since its basic aspects (such as nail anatomy and epidemiology) until applied topics (including clinical features, nail biopsy and treatment).

This book provides a complete illustrated review of conservative and surgical therapeutic options for ingrowing toenails. Instead of promoting a single technique, a rational approach has been implemented in accordance with the clinical presentation of each case. Even with the availability of sophisticated techniques, treating an ingrowing toenail remains a challenge for many physicians. In the absence of a ‘cure-all’ procedure, the authors have used their wealth of experience to present treatment algorithms for the management of ingrowing nails. As the first book of its kind, Management of Ingrowing Nails: Treatment Scenarios and Practical Tips is essential reading for general practitioners, orthopaedic surgeons, podiatrists, and dermatologists.
