Trachyonychia Secondary to Acitretin Usage
2020
Trachyonychia is a disease of the nail matrix that most commonly presents with sandpaper-like roughness of the nails. Retinoids are known to cause several nail abnormalities, likely due to their anti-proliferative effects. Despite this, no cases have been previously reported on the association of acitretin (second-generation retinoid) with trachyonychia. We present a single case of trachyonychia associated with acitretin that subsided following medication cessation.
