Treatment of Nail Psoriasis

Abstract

Nail psoriasis has a considerable negative impact on the quality of life by limiting the patient’s household chores, professional activities and social interactions. Treatment for nail psoriasis is often overlooked with treatment for skin and joint involvement being more emphasized. It is also challenging since the clinical improvement takes a long time to be observed and is often met with poor compliance with treatment. This review focuses on the various treatment options for nail psoriasis after review of literature. The literature research considered published journal articles (clinical trials or scientific reviews). Studies were identified by searching electronic databases (MEDLINE and PubMed) and reference lists of respective articles. Only articles available in English were considered for this review. J Drugs Dermatol. 2022;21(2):146-150. doi:10.36849/JDD.4969.
