Summary:Two cases of chilblain lupus erythematosus (CLE) potentially triggered by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) nail lamps are presented. These cases, along with a review of the literature, suggest a possible link between UV nail lamp use and CLE development or reactivation. Further research is needed to confirm this association, but healthcare professionals should be aware of the potential risks of this practice, especially for patients with photosensitive conditions.
