Dermoscopy of Onychomycosis: A Systematic Review.

The current review provides a framework for issues related to the onychoscopic terminology of onychomycosis and is intended to serve as an aid for students, teachers, and researchers. We proposed a unifying terminology to describe dermoscopic signs of onychomycosis. Dermoscopic signs of onychomycosis show good specificity and are useful in distinguishing nail psoriasis, trauma, and onychomycosis. It helps differentiate fungal melanonychia from nail melanoma, nevi, and melanocytic activation.
