ONYCHODYSTROPHIES IN PEDIATRIC DERMATOLOGY.

The clinical features of pediatric onychodystrophies are predominantly determined by pathological changes in the matrix. The majority of pathologies manifest as multiple nail disorders, with predominant damage to the fingernails and are characterized by a benign course. The late hand, foot, and mouth disease complications (onychomadesis; Beau's line) are self-limited and do not require specific treatment. In the case of disorders associated with infections, management is based on the treatment of the underlying pathology and the prognosis is also favorable.
