Book description
The human nail provides a complex structure that supports fine
manipulation of objects while protecting the extremities. Diseases of
the nail disrupt this function. They can cause pain and discomfort,
cause disfigurement and are often unsightly with a profound effect on
the sufferer's self confidence.
Baran & Dawber's Diseases of the Nails and their Management
has long been recognized as the preeminent authority on nail disease.
New to this edition is a superb guide to differential diagnosis by
color, shape and location within the nail unit to provide rapid clinical
information on nail disorders. All thirteen chapters have been
thoroughly updated.
