Dermatol Online J. 2015 Oct 16;21(10):13030/qt689871cb.

Abstract

Subungual hemorrhage is usually a benign sign, often linked to a traumatic cause. However, it can also reveal a serious and chronic systemic disease. As we will show, subungual hemorrhage may be an indicator of the severity of diabetic microangiopathy. We report a case of subungual hemorrhage in diabetes.
