This textbook, set at the level between the definitive work and the clinical manual, has been completely updated and revised for the fifth edition. However, the text still retains its original aim which is to provide an introductory handbook to all the common diseases of nails. From nail anatomy and physiology, the book then describes all the most commonly encountered nail conditions, giving guidelines for treatment and describing nail surgery. With a range of contributions from experts in the field, the book should continue to provide a concise reference text for all clinical dermatologists, general practitioners, podiatrists and beauticians. All previous illustrations have been updated and replaced with colour photographs.
