Abstract
Lichen planus (LP) is one of the few conditions that may cause permanent and debilitating nail loss. Recurrence is common despite treatment with first-line therapies including intralesional and systemic corticosteroids. We describe application of a resin nail for recalcitrant LP of the fingernail for improved cosmesis and functionality.
