Correct diagnosis of nail disorders could be difficult for a non-trained eye, especially in children. For this reason, sometimes, probative diagnosis and treatment are the outcome of a consultation. This paper wants to underline how podiatric abnormalities should be considered possible causes of nail disorders in children and how they need an appropriate, most of the time non-medical, treatment in order to avoid future complications.
Conclusion: Physicians should be aware of this possibility and refer these patients to a dermatologist or a podiatrist for a correct management.
What is known:
• Diagnosis and treatment of nail disorders in children could be difficult.
• Differential diagnosis should be as much accurate as possible in order to avoid unnecessary and possible harmful treatments. |
What is new:
• Podiatric abnormalities should not be underestimated.
• Podiatric abnormalities should be considered as potential causes of nail abnormalities in children. |
