- Abstract
- Amorolfine is a broad-spectrum antimycotic agent, inhibiting biosynthesis of ergosterol. It penetrates rapidly into the nail after topical application by transungual drug delivery system. Although it is considered to be relatively stable chemical substances, it may cause nail discoloration by excessive topical application and prolonged sun exposure. We report a case of toenail hyperpigmentation due to the overuse of amorolfine nail lacquer, which is the first report in Korea.
