“…In the current study, the age of the included patients with different nail diseases ranged from 5 to 65 years, with a mean value of 34.9 ± 15.9 years; however, in a similar study conducted previously by Mir et al, 9 A similar female predominance (62.9%) was reported by Afshar et al 12 This can be attributed to the fact that females do household wet work like laundry and house cleaning. On the contrary, these results differ from the study was conducted by Ahmad et al 13 who showed that onychomycosis was more common in 143 (71.5%) males than 57 (28.5%) females.…”

Nail disorders are prevalent dermatologic complaints and present at any age. 50% of the nail disorders were due to infectious causes, 15% were due to metabolic or inflammatory causes, and 5% were due to pigment disturbances and malignancies. The differential diagnosis of nail disorders is still often a field of incertitude. 1 Clinical evaluation is still an issue in such cases. The nail unit is a greatly specialized structure and there are significant histopathological variations within its components. SO, the mycological assessments, and histopathological examinations are pivotal for the diagnosis of different nail disorders. 1 Two factors can hinder a precise diagnosis of nail disorders. The first factor is that several nail disorders may clinically mimic one another, leading to difficulty in diagnosis. From a practical view, one may consider infectious, inflammatory, and neoplastic processes in the differential diagnosis of a single lesion. So, a biopsy is usually resolve the cell layer that is abnormally found in the nail bed or nail matrix, and it is normally found in the nail fold or hyponychium. 2 The nail biopsy is an essential technique to obtain an accurate diagnosis of clinically ambiguous nail diseases that is not diagnosable by history, clinical examination, and mycology testing , 3 but it is disagreeable with the patient and may lead to scarring and disfigurement of the nail. 4

Introduction: The primary objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of nail diseases and its population in nail consultation. Methods: A retrospective study of clinical records between 2012 and 2022 was conducted. The 1,372 established diagnoses were categorized into nosological groups, which included physical signs, infectious diseases, dermatological diseases, systemic diseases, drug reactions, occupational disorders, congenital diseases, traumatic disorders, and tumors. Results: Overall, 1,239 records were enrolled, with 64% (n = 788) involving female patients. The median age was 50 years. In 71.5% of cases (n = 886), it was possible to establish an etiological diagnosis or a causative relationship based on physical findings, while 28% of patients (n = 347) presented nonspecific physical signs. Conclusion: Onychomycosis was the most prevalent diagnosis and revealed a descending trend over the 10-year period study.
