ABSTRACT
Twenty-nail dystrophy is a distinctive pattern of nail changes, in which all 20 nails are uniformly affected with excessive longitudinal ridging and loss of luster. It occurs at any age ranging from children to adulthood, however, it is most commonly diagnosed in children. It can be idiopathic or caused by other inflammatory dermatoses, but the exact cause and pathogenesis of these changes are so far unknown. Several treatment modalities have been employed for treatment of twenty-nail dystrophy, such as topical steroid, intralesional steroids injection, and topical PUVA, however, without much success. We herein report a case of an adults, patient with twenty-nail dystrophy which was successfully treated with topical 0.025% Tretinoin cream.
