Abstract:

Nail involvement in psoriasis is common and can be distressing. It can be treated with a range of treatment options, including topical medications, intralesional corticosteroids, phototherapy, radiation therapy, systemic therapies and biological agents. However, evidence for their efficacy in this setting is generally limited and additional research is needed.
