Abstract EN
We describe a 6-year-old boy with an asymptomatic linear eruption on the left index finger with mild erythema of the proximal nail fold, nail dystrophy, and subungual hyperkeratosis of the nail.
A diagnosis of nail lichen striatus was made.
The child was successfully treated with a topical corticosteroid.
Because of its rarity, nail lichen striatus is often under-recognized.
Physicians should be familiar with the nail involvement in individuals with lichen striatus so that an accurate diagnosis can be made and unnecessary investigations and treatment avoided.
