Abstract

ABSTRACT This is a case study of a 55-year-old woman presenting with dystrophic nails that arose during her teenage years and has worsened over the last few years. The patient reported frequent wet work, exposure to irritants, and cuticle manipulation. The physical examination showed proximal nail fold bolstering, loss of cuticle, and a wavy dorsal nail plate resembling a “washboard.” She was diagnosed with chronic paronychia and onychotillomania. She was prescribed clobetasol ointment and sulfacetamide in ethanol and was counseled on hygiene and at-home care. One month after the regimen was started, there was noticeable reduction of inflammation to the cuticle.
