Abstract
Disturbances of the nail apparatus are common and mainly benign. This review aims to investigate the aetiology of these disturbances, which range from more common benign causes to less common melanomas. Melanonychia may be the most prominent concern and is characterised by brown or black nail plate discoloration. Hence, understanding the most common nail changes, their epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical features are imperative to diagnosis and may prevent unnecessary surgical procedures in cases where it is not warranted.
