Abstract
The diagnosis and management of drug-induced hair and nail disorders in the clinic presents a unique challenge for the physician. Not only must the physician recognize the trigger and manage the symptoms but also consider the influence these disorders have on the patient's quality of life. This article describes the various types of drug-induced hair and nails disorders, and discusses the clinical recognition, pathophysiology and possible management options.
