Paronychia and granulation tissue formation during treatment with isotretinoin.
This paper describes the association of two unusual side effects of treatment with isotretinoin for severe acne: paronychia and excess granulation tissue in the nails furrows. We report a case of male patient aged 19 years, who in the course of the 36th week of treatment with isotretinoin for acne grade III showed erythema, edema, excess granulation tissue and onychocryptosis in various nail beds of hands and feet, with no history of trauma associated. A literature review revealed few reports of these adverse events, and two clinical patterns of exuberant granulation tissue has been described: one in periungual location and other in lesions of previous acne. The rarity and lack of knowledge on the best treatment for granuloma-like reactions make this theme a considerable challenge.

Herpetic whitlow during isotretinoin therapy.
Isotretinoin is an extremely valuable drug that is occasionally associated with well-known mucocutaneous side-effects, including cheilitis, retinoid dermatitis, palmoplantar desquamation, and photosensitivity. Paronychia has been reported rarely: only two prior cases of herpes simplex infections associated with isotretinoin have been previously reported. We present the first known case of herpetic paronychia occurring in an atopic patient while on isotretinoin therapy for acne.

[Paronychia and the formation of granulation tissue during isotretinoin therapy].
This paper reports on the association of two uncommon side effects of isotretinoin therapy for cystic acne: paronychia and excess granulation tissue in the nail sulci. An explanation for these side effects is suggested, but the exact pathogenesis remains obscure.
