Abstract
Examination of the nails under suffi cient lighting should be an integral part of diagnosis. Before the doctor examines the patient, his or her assistants should help the patients to do the following:
1. Remove shoes, socks, stockings
2. Remove all nail cosmetics
3. Have an informative nail questionnaire fi lled out
This will save time for the physician.
