Abstract
A 20-year-old man presented with thickening, subungual hyperkeratosis and discoloration of all the nails of both hands and both great toes since birth. No other ectodermal abnormalities were found. Treatment with vitamins A and E in high doses along with a moisturizing ointment topically for one year resulted in complete resolution of all nail abnormalities.
