Shoreline Nails: A New Nail Sign of SARS-CoV-2 Infection.

ABSTRACT

With the onset of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, a number of nail unit changes have been associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. We report a new unique nail finding within one month of infection and RT-PCR test positivity characterized by an abrupt proximal superficial nail plate change characteristic of shoreline nails. The possibility that this nail change may represent a Koebner phenomenon in patients prone to lichen planus is raised. J Drugs Dermatol. 2022;21(5)521-522. doi10.36849/JDD.2105.
