Abstract
Nail disorders comprise an important subset of dermatologic conditions and often pose both diagnostic and therapeutic challenges to the clinician. Presentation and management can differ in adults and children. Proper understanding of these differences is important in delivering optimal patient care. This contribution discusses three common nail disorders in adults and children, onychomycosis, melanonychia striata, and trachyonychia, highlighting distinct features in the adult and pediatric populations.
