Major underlying health issues can be indicated by even minor nail infections. Subungual Melanoma is one of the most severe kinds since it is identified at a much later stage than other conditions. The purpose of this research is to offer novel deep-learning algorithms that target the autonomous categorization of six forms of nail disorders by employing images: Blue Finger, Clubbing, Pitting, Onychogryphosis, Acral Lentiginous Melanoma, and Normal Nail or Healthy Nail Appearance.

Introduction: Dermatological conditions affecting the nails can manifest differently in individuals with distinct skin tones. This often leads to difficulty in the recognition of nail diseases, especially in people with skin of color (SoC), who are not well represented in the literature.
Objectives: Our aim was to provide dermatologists with useful clues for prompt recognition and diagnosis of nail psoriasis (NPso) and nail lichen planus (NLP) in people with SoC.

Nail psoriasis occurs in approximately half of all cases of plaque psoriasis and manifests with onychodystrophy, which includes morphological features of onycholysis, subungual hyperkeratosis, oil drop sign, pitting, splinter hemorrhages, leukonychia, and crumbling of the nails. Nail psoriasis can have a significant adverse impact on quality of life. However, nail psoriasis is often refractory to both local and systemic therapies, making it challenging to treat.

Article Synopsis
- * A study of 50 patients with psoriasis found that 22% tested positive for onychomycosis, with various fungi types identified among them, including dermatophytes and molds.
- * The research emphasizes the importance of combining mycology, histology, and dermoscopy for accurate diagnosis, revealing that spikes were the most common dermoscopic sign in onychomycosis cases while nail pitting was more typical of psoriasis.
