Abstract

Lichen striatus is an asymptomatic, benign, self-limiting condition occurring in children and young adults presenting as grouped skin colored papules in a linear fashion. Nail involvement is a rare finding and when present, often involves a portion of the nail and shows a protracted course. Here, we report a case of total nail involvement in one such case.
