Article Synopsis
- Retronychia is a condition where the nail plate grows into the skin fold at the base of the nail, often seen in young females, and is marked by overlapping nail plates and a yellowish nail that doesn’t grow.
- A study identified 9 pediatric cases (7 girls, 2 boys) with characteristics like thickened nails and inflammation, primarily affecting the big toes, with 5 cases being unilateral and 4 bilateral.
