Why do you ask?
Do you have a client with this condition?
If so why not offer a little more explanation as to what the condition is and what it looks like?
I for instance haven't a clue what it is.
Apart from the most common nail disorders, that we see only once in a blue moon anyway in the salon, I have no interest in nail diseases. For one we as nail technicians are not allowed to diagnose them or to treat them so they are of little interest to me.
If something looks weird, I send a client to their GP for permission to proceed.
Here is the definition.
Twenty nail dystrophy, also known as Trachonychia is a condition characterised by the rough linear ridges developed on but not specifically all twenty nails of the fingers and toes. The nails are opalescent and frequently are brittle and split at the free margin. There has been evidence of the condition as a cutaneous manifestation of lichen planus. It has also been associated with other diseases such as eczema, psoriasis, alopecia areata. It is more common in children and becomes less obvious with age.
It seems that it is not a fungal condition. I would have a go on one or two and chart the results.
