A Sticky Problem with Etretinate

Abstract
Etretinate is a retinoid that is used to manage recalcitrant psoriasis. We recently cared for a patient in whom a curious symptom developed while he was taking 75 mg of etretinate daily to control severe psoriasis. He noted an annoying stickiness of the palms and soles and observed that materials adhered to these surfaces ( Fig. 1 ).
