Summary

The nail is an important skin appendage which can provide information about the person's overall health status in addition to having several important functions such as protection, tactile sensation, grasping. Many nail abnormalities which can have considerable psychological impact are side effects of drug administration. Retinoids have various effects on nails. Although isotretinoin as a retinoid has been associated with both decreased and increased nail growth, the great majority of such associations are not evidence-based. So, it was aimed to investigate the effects of isotretinoin on morphology, growth rate, and thickness of the nail plate.
