ABSTRACT

Pincer nail is a rare disease with severe pain on the distal nail bed by soft tissue ischemia. We report a case of ea 60-year-old woman who showed a hereditary form of pincer nail with some bulging appearing on her fingers. She was treated with a nail grinding method 3 times weekly, and her pain disappeared within a week without recurrence. We recommend nail grinding as a good method for treatment of pincer nail.
