Abstract
Background: Habitual tic nail dystrophy is a prevalent condition among adults; however, it has received limited scholarly attention.
Aims: This study aims to report the case of habitual tic nail dystrophy with a duration of 13 years.
Methods: The patient was advised to modify his lifestyle habits and was followed up regularly over the course of 1 year to assess changes in the appearance of his nails.
Results: The appearance of the nails normalized during the 1-year follow-up period.
Conclusions: The appearance of nails in patients with habitual tic nail dystrophy can be significantly improved through lifestyle modifications and by minimizing the stimulation of the nail matrix.
